This is a trapdoor activity to get your students to practise their speaking skills. It is played in pairs. Each person chooses an option for each sentence in their head. One starts reading the text and trying to find out the other’s choices. Each time they make a choice, the partner nods or shakes his/her head. If the choice is correct the person continues until they get it wrong. When they get it wrong, the other person has a go. The aim of the game is to finish first. I did this with my Yr10 students and they enjoyed it a lot! Enjoy and don’t forget to feedback!

A reading comprehension activity I designed for my Yr10 about teenagers going abroad on foreign exchange. Vocabulary and questions. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback.

Gap filling exercise which I designed for my Yr9 on the weather (I guess would be suitable for Yr8 top set or Yr10 too). Text has both present/near future weather forecast. I gave each student a different strip and they then go around the class asking each other for some words they haven't got, reading the text in Spanish. It's differentiated so you can give out strips according to your students' ability. The strips get harder and harder. The complete text is on the last strip for the teacher to help if needed. Then, I got students to translate text in English followed by adapting it to write a weather forecast about Spain or another country they like. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback :-)

Here is a Powerpoint presentation I have made with all the answers and some writing titles for 120/180 words tasks. This is to go with the French GCSE Translation booklet (attached) made by Kloereese on TES. My classes have found it really useful for revision before exams. Enjoy!

Gap filling exercise which I designed for my bottom set Yr9 on town. I gave each student a different strip and they then go around the class asking each other for some words they haven't got. The complete text is on the last strip for the teacher. Then, I got students to translate text in English followed by adapting it to write about their city/town.
