This can be used in any language (or subject!). Type your clues into the ‘Clue’ boxes. Pupils work in two teams (red and blue) and their objective is to get 4 (or 3, if you prefer) of their coloured rectangles in a row for a point. This can be vertically, horizontally or diagonally. I allow 5 in a row to count as 2 points. In presentation mode, click on the relevant coloured circle to change the colour of the rectangle.

Instructions are given in the PowerPoint.

Finally, pupils translate the phrases from French into English.

There are also lists of prefixes and suffixes, negative forms, 'pesky little words' that catch you out and synonyms and antonyms. Along with this PPT you will find a RAG vocab spreadsheet, arranged by topic area, for students to use. There are also past paper questions from AQA, arranged by topic area.

This has proved so popular with all of my classes! In teams (blue & red), pupils answer a question and choose a square from the opponents’ grid. Their opponents then get that score. They are allowed to steal one score only from their opponents throughout the game. An ‘X’ is a wipeout and wipes the opponents’ score (which can be a good thing if their score is negative!). If they cannot answer or give an incorrect answer, the opposite team answer and choose to swap the number or keep it. This can be used with any subject and any vocab/topic! Make it up on the spot! There are three different boards, so pupils are unlikely to memorise the scores.

This PowerPoint uses both analogue and digital to introduce and practise the time in French.
