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 Yr8 and Yr9 students and they enjoyed it a lot! 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/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 French. 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 France or another country they like. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback :-)
-Running dictation on ideal holidays, using conditional, simple future and complex structures.
-Put photos in the order of the text.
-Find the French and answer questions in English.
-Write your own paragraph.
I did this with Yr10 French (following my free worksheet about Le Petit Nicolas) and it worked really well.
