Brilliant activity for KS3 AND KS4 - adapt to ANY topic and MFL you wish. This is specifically for Health / Drugs / Alcohol German. First presentation reminds / coaches on speaking and handling questions, lots of listening involved. Second presentation fires questions at the students and they have to respond appropriately. This is just SUCH a fun lesson - enjoy! SORRY - have re-loaded to include activity slide. d'oh!

Got rated outstanding on this. Lots of modal verb boosts - opportunity to elicit 'um...zu...&' as well if you&';ve already done this. A bit teacher heavy at the start but lots of stuff to 'warm them up&', plus a fun activity to help them identify how to improve the work. TEACHING NOTES WITH EACH SLIDE TO HELP YOU FIND WAY THROUGH. French teachers - thought you might want to use this basic outline. Hope this helps out in some way!!!

Pupils design their own Stadtplan and use acc/dat knowledge to describe where things are. Resourced with a ready-to-use town plan, map of Berlin to give cultural background to street names and lots of opportunities for PLTS and speaking. Please give feedback.

GCSE-style Higher level reading comprehension with two short(ish)passages that I have adapted from exam boards - followed by 5 statements that students should mark as being in the past/present/future tense. I've adapted to make more complex and include funkier adverbs of time, challenging and Edexcel-exam-style friendly.

'Wintergedicht' and 'der erste Schnee&' - dictionary work, tense practice, lots of images and music to listen to, pupils work in groups on several activities, finishing by drafting personal response using subordinate clauses. (Adapted from rosered27, with thanks!) PLEASE give feedback on this - don&';t download and run! Not done much of this sort, would be grateful for 'tweak&' ideas!

Either use as vocab boost (tailored to your group's requirements) use use as excellent group activity to promote discussion and deep understanding of how gender/case affects def/indefinite/pronouns. Students must make six groups of six cards - it's self marking so perfect consolidation activity after teaching. Biscuits for the winning team are recommended!

Supports Echo 3 Rot double page spread, with thanks to other TES users, a few of whose slides I've adapted. Very interactive, lots of speaking, visuals, reinforces comparative in context of personal characteristics and school, ability to give in depth opinion on school subjects. Bit of a mish mash, but hope it&'s useful!

Excellent little activity for students to choose best fit / synonym / missing word from a choice. BRILLIANT and engaging, adapt it for any topic, any level of ability, really fun and students learn a lot from this!! If you choose the right options, you create six packs of cards, if you go wrong you can't close the loop and finish the activity. Super for vocabulary building. Sorry - just noticed I have some errors in my spreadsheet - please correct &'BauarbeiterIN&'; and 'Sauer&' - should be lower case &';sauer'.

Series of lessons to teach where you live plus dative endings definite/indefinite. (Have already taught types of house/location). Moves on to rooms in house, what you might do there - very interactive, nice grammar focus on 1st/2nd person verbs too. Enjoy!!! Please feed back. It's nice to have occasionally, you know?...

Stupidly easy lesson - lots of images for you to use (saves search times!!!). Print out sufficient, give kids gluesticks, colouring pencils and coloured card to cut out and stick onto. Jazz up the greetings inside if you wish - and there you are - easiest last lesson of the year ever - and avoids the HELL of watching half a DVD!!!

Introducing several issues in German which could cause teenage stress. Pupils have to rate according to 'ist mir (gar nicht) wichtig... and then revises conditional tense. Pupils to brainstorm solutions to suggested problems. Lots of opportunities to speak and write. Homework is based on Edexcel course text but any 'Letter to problem page' text to hand could be substituted. As usual, feedback welcome... (sorry, re-loaded after spotting typos!)

Interactive 'keep them on their toes&' lesson with lots of listening and practise to retain information for more than 10 seconds! Listening, thinking skills, lots of switching between future and perfect tense with game at end. Please feed back!

Can be amended for ANY topic (or MFL, actually!) Lots of opportunities to give opinions and extend/justify. Build in 'weil' for higher ability if you want. HUGE focus on AfL and speaking skills. Update... got observed with this and had an Outstanding - lots of feedback on the peer assessment and group interactions - you can really show off questioning and Blooms with this lesson... HTH

Quick fire questions that can be adapted - this is suitable as is, for Year 7s who have done some work on the topic of school. Very engaging and stimulating, excellent for promoting speaking and thinking skills. Set up to play, right click on mouse to freeze and offer a student the question / they can work in pairs and think about how to give the best answer

Reinforces time lesson done already with nice interactive games (thanks to a game I've lifted from another contributor on TES!), then goes on to teach basic Year 7 subjects and teach how to describe your day using verb inversion, thus 'Am Montag HABE ich.....'

thanks to TWO other contributors, whose resources I've combined. LOTS of listen/repeat/chanting and print out the table of French/English to save the pupils writing it out! Lovely chance to introduce Saint-Saens carnival of the animals. Leave slide 25 on freeze with all names of animals from the music, freeze the OHP and then click on the YouTube links - pupils can vote/guess with mini-white-boards which animal is being represented. Second part of ppt much more usual - using vocab from Expo 1! Bon appetit!

Just for fun - allocate students to groups, put it on full screen and use. You can add and take away points as you see fit. Really engages students! Thanks to a website (can't remember?) where I found this one...

For good ability students, how to start with subordinate connectives (either weil/wenn) to force VCV construction, including free time activities in perfect and present tense. Scaffolding to encourage vocab recall, building from present to past tense, at which point I also include weil. Sorry if HW task sounds unnatural - included it to force a VCV construction. Handout amended. THANKS TO OTHER TES MEMBER, WHOSE RESOURCE I LIFTED IMAGES FROM! Feedback most gratefully received!

Practises common letter sound / blends for German - can easily be changed for French. It can be HUGELY reduced and done using duplo colour-coded blocks for children. Really good fun and lots of student participation in this. Please rate as I'm becoming obsessed with MFL phonics and would like to develop this whole area...

Good for higher ability. Lots of thinking and group work to encourage independent learning and make students work out rules for themselves. I've mixed up reg/irreg verbs because my group is good enough to cope with it, also included a seperable verb. Thanks for a couple of graphics to other TES contributors. You will need to give/remind of the full haben forms. Feedback would be appreciated.
