Whole-class activity, which could become pairwork. Instead of saying, for example, “2 plus 3”, you say, “une robe plus des chaussures”. Students’ answers would then be “une veste”, instead of “5”. Make the calculation as complicated as you like!

Use this PowerPoint to introduce the rooms of the house in French. The first two slides are plans of the ground floor and the first floor. Click on each room to take you to the words to introduce to the students. Click on the red arrow to return to the plan. When the introduction of the vocabulary is complete, there is a '4 in a row' game to practise the words.

Enter the text of your choice into the box and then add the English of the TL in the text to the boxes underneath. Pupils read the text and then take it in turns to choose which English phrase they would like to find in the text (in the target language). If they are right, click on the phrase to reveal their team's score. There are positive, negative scores and a wipeout. Instructions are in the PowerPoint.

This template allows you to use your own clues and Catchphrase-style picture, etc. underneath the clues. Instructions are in the notes section in the PowerPoint.

Pupils each have a copy of the Word document (bingo grid). Either allow pupils to listen once or twice to fill in the words they hear and understand into any of the squares (there is no need at all to complete the grid). Partners check they have written the target language and English correctly in each square. Then, using the PowerPoint, reveal one square at a time. Pupils mark each other's grids. Whatever score is under each square is what that pupil gets for each grid they've filled in correctly. The winner is the pupil of the pair who has the highest score.

Use this resource to practise conjugating -er verbs in French. Pupils roll a dice and then conjugate the given verb in pairs.

This PowerPoint introduces the all-important French vocabulary needed at the train station, including asking questions. There is also a Blockbusters game at the end to practise the vocabulary.

This PowerPoint introduces the time in German, starting with a recap of the analogue time in English! At the end of the PowerPoint, pupils say the time out loud when they see it on the board.

This worksheet allows lower ability pupils to practise German directions.

Use this PowerPoint to revise or practise clothing in any language (simply change the letters at the bottom of the slide). The teacher says one of the articles of clothing and pupils raise the left hand, the right hand or both, depending on what shape/colour is shown on the corresponding image. Speed it up as you go along to keep pupils’ attention!

Use this PowerPoint to introduce the comparative and superlative in French. There are very clear, visual examples, along with step-by-step instructions.

Use this template to create a plenary pairwork resource. Fill the gaps in as you wish, pupils roll the dice and translate or carry out the specified activity. Could also be used as a starter activity.

Use this to practise transcription in Spanish. Pupils work in pairs - A and B. There is a different sheet for each person. Start with pupil A - they read the text you've put into the box to their partner who then transcribes it onto their own sheet in the relevant box. Then swap roles. They must then peer assess what they have written and tally the number of errors made in the relevant section. This is great for transcription, listening and pronunciation skills.

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.

Although this is designed to suit the French listening and reading exams, it can easily be adapted to suit other languages. This presentation goes through tips and tricks for both preparation for and use in the GCSE listening and reading exams. Instructions are in the notes section of the PPT. 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. These are a free addition.

Following the popularity of Blockbusters resources, here is the template I use in my lessons. Add the first letters of words in a phrase, images or words to the ‘Add text, initials or picture here’ on the yellow hexagons. In teams (red and blue), pupils aim to make a continuous line of their colour horizontally. This can be as long or as short as they want, as long as it’s continuous. The other team will aim to block them. When they have chosen a yellow hexagon and have answered correctly, click on that hexagon (on your computer). Then click on the relevant team colour to make it change to either blue or red. Instructions are in the notes section of the PowerPoint.

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.

This can be used for any language. The example in the PowerPoint is in English, so it can be easily adapted to your needs. Pupils work in pairs to produce a paragraph on any given topic. They take it in turns to roll the dice. The phrase corresponding to their number is the one they have to use. When they’ve completed it, they could then learn it. Good practice for learning to learn! They must also check that the phrase makes sense. If it doesn’t (incorrect tense, etc.), they must roll again. Another idea is for pupils to translate their finished paragraph.
