Je fais, tu fais, elle fait du judo: using the verb faire + du/de la etc KS2 KS3

A set of colour slides which I made to introduce the verb faire + du/de la etc to my Year 7 class. It’s in the form of a very simple illustrated story, with a character doing a different activity each day of the week.

The slides have animations which mean you can introduce the language orally before showing the written form.

Also included is a basic sentence builder frame, with all the vocabulary from the sldies, plus a few extra, and a blank Battleships game which we used as a whole class, in two teams, to consolidate the learning.

The language on the sentence builder is as follows (not all illustrated though):-

Je fais (I do)
Tu fais (you do)
Il/elle/on fait (he/she/one does)
Mon ami fait (my friend does)

Nous faisons (we do)
Vous faites (you lot do)
Ils font (they do)
Elles font (they do)
