Film themes - pupils decide which film genre
Just one slide...click on the 8 cinema tickets and a film theme will play. (Pictures are incidental ... they don't match with the music excerpts). Pupils have previously been taught film genres - they must note the correct genre as they listen to each theme. Could also be used to reinforce adjectives for describing films? Scroll to bottom of screen to find answers.

Remembrance day - French vocabulary on emotions
Pupils are given a copy of the vocab list on last slide of powerpoint.
They are then shown a series of images with a choice of 3 emotions and asked to show red/amber/green card to show which emotion they think is shown in the images. (Our pupils' planners have RAG pages - they could use different coloured pens / objects instead?)
Later slides offer no choice of emotions, but encourage pupils to write an emotion on a whiteboard instead.
Depending on ability of class pupils could be encouraged to write whole sentences rather than single words.

French Christmas dominoes
Pupils use a dictionary to find out new vocabulary. They then create a long line of dominoes, matching up all the words and pictures. Once they are familiar with the vocabulary they can play a few games of dominoes! (Worth discussing the rules first .. some of my pupils weren't sure how to play dominoes!!)

Just some fun for your last lesson before Christmas! Pupils put their hands up to offer a co-ordinate - teacher (or a chosen pupil) clicks on the corresponding box to reveal either a frowny face or a Christmas pud!

Christmas battleships
A selected pupil gives coordinates in French. Teacher taps appropriate square, which will fly out revealing a blank square or a Christmas pud!! There are 7 to find. The puds are at the bottom of the screen so you need to move them onto the grid before playing. This means you can play more than once! Nice way to end last lesson before Xmas! Sweets needed as prizes of course!! A bag of chocolate coins works well and is cheap! 'Ave it!! :)
P.S. To re-set the game quickly, just click the blue forward arrow to take you onto next screen, then click the blue back arrow. This will return you to game screen with all squares back in place. You can retrieve the Xmas puds from the grid by using the blue curly UNDO arrow.

Text analysis about where someone lives
Pupils work in pairs analysing one of two texts. Dictionaries are only allowed when they hear the countdown music so mostly they have to use their own skills / knowledge. After 20 minutes, 20 phrases from the 2 texts appear on the board in English, one at a time (powerpoint is timed). Pupils must scan the text they have worked on to find the equivalent in French. Full instructions on 1st powerpoint slide. Involves an element of challenge/competition and of course the winners MUST get a prize!!! :) 'Ave it!!!

SCHOOL UNIFORM Group work
Pupils work in 5 groups. Give pupils in each group the same info card & let them work together to find out English meanings. (Or could be set as homework). Then give them all a pupil vocab sheet, and transfer the info they have found out onto the sheet. Then let them go round classroom asking pupils for answers to remaining vocab on sheet - only allowed to ask one question before moving on to another pupil. When vocab sheet complete, use it to write an independent paragraph about uniform. PHEW!!! Hard to explain - hope you get it and hope it's of some use!!! :)

Christmas vocab game (vocab from Linguascope)
If you've used Linguascope to teach 10 items of French Christmas vocabulary then this is the perfect plenary! 10 pictures repeatedly flash in the box - a pupil taps the box to stop the pictures, and is then given a choice of 3 possible answers. If they tap the correct answer they of course receive the obligatory sweet! :)
If you don't subscribe to Linguascope this could be used as a research lesson, so teacher could tap the pictures, pupils look at the 3 words and use dictionaries to work out correct answer.

Technology - Pair work reading activity
Encourages pupils to scan texts for familiar language and then try to work out new vocab before using a dictionary. Divide your class into groups of 4-6 pupils. Give each group 1 copy of the 5 mini texts about Google glasses. Give each pupil a copy of the worksheet. Pupils study one of the texts and answer any relevant questions before swapping the text with other pupils in their group. Keep the 5 texts circulating around the groups until pupils have answered all the questions. Every now and then play some timed music (approx. 2 minutes?) and only when they hear the music are they allowed to use a dictionary. When the music stops they have to close dictionaries!

KS3 French Holidays tense recognition - group work
Each group is given copies of the 4 texts (as 4 separate sheets) and one copy of the worksheet. Pupils can decide how they want to work - either split up into pairs and each pair looks for ONE particular tense in all 4 texts, swapping texts when they have finished, OR each pair focuses on ONE text, identifying the 3 different tenses. Give 'em mini highlighters - they like using them and the colours reinforce the different tenses. Pupils record their findings on the worksheet then feed back to the class. 'Ave it!!! :)
