Great game, to revise pretty much any topic! I used it to revise the past tense with 'avoir' and -ER verbs with my Year 8, but it can be adapted for any purpose. Switch off the lights, let the suspense penetrate the classroom and get the kids in a competitive mood! They'll love it...

I created this Reading activity for my class. The purpose of it is to get the students to deal with unfamiliar expressions in a familiar context. It also gives them lots of idioms that they will be able to reuse for their coursework.

This grammar worksheet starts with a brief revision of the imperfect, the future simplet and the conditional tenses/modes, which students often tend to confuse. It then introduces the 3 different types of "si" clauses: - Si + present + future --> Si nous continuons de gaspiller l’énergie, nous aurons de gros problèmes. - Si + imperfect + conditional --> Si nous continuions de gaspiller l’énergie, nous aurions de gros problèmes. - Si + pluperfect + conditional past --> Si nous avions continué de gaspiller l’énergie, nous aurions eu de gros problèmes. The explanation is followed by 2 fairly difficult exercises on the topic of the environment. I have created and used this worksheet with my French Higher Level group in Year 13. It could also be used for a French SL able group or for differentiation purposes (see worksheet on 'si' clauses for Standard Level)

Here's a guided worksheet to complete as you watch the movie. It focuses mainly on developing vocabulary and enhancing comprehension but can be supported by class discussion. The second worksheet is a follow-on from the booklet and gives students the opportunity to read a film review for 'Amélie', look at how to write a film review, and plan their own review. The level of difficulty is A2/B1, accessible for students who have been learning French for 2-3 years at least. It is a great opportunity for students to gain an insight into French culture. Watching the movie and completing the booklet would take up to 5-6 hours. The film review worksheet would take about an hour to complete and the review can be set as an assessed task or a homework.

Crosswords to practise personality adjectives and adjective agreements. Students have to complete the sentences using the correct adjective with the correct adjective agreements. This gives them an opportunity to see these adjectives used in context and in idiomatic turns of phrase, which they can later reuse for a speaking or a writing activity. I used it at the beginning of Year 10 as an extension task while revising how to describe someone, but it could also be used in KS3 with a more advanced group.

This worksheets offers students the opportunity to revise the formation of the imperfect, the simple future and the conditional, which they often confuse. It then explains 3 structures with 'si': - Si + present + future: Si le gouvernement ne met rien en place, les températures vont continuer d’augmenter. - Si + imperfect + conditional: Si le gouvernement ne mettait rien en place, les températures continueraient d’augmenter. - Et si + imparfait? : Et si les températures continuaient d'augmenter? There are 2 practise exercises (gapfill and fairly substantial translation exercise) for students to practise. Examples and exercises are all based on the topic of the environment and therefore provide students with the opportunity to revise the basic vocabulary on this topic. It can be used along with the same worksheet I have uploaded for Higher Level if you wish to differentiate the lesson.

This booklet covers: - Holiday destinations and activities - Weather phrases - Directions - Complaints in a hotel - The pronoun 'y' - Revision of the conditional and imperfect - Clauses with 'si' - An introduction to the subjunctive in context I have created this booklets for 3 of my year 10 students who are working at an advanced level. It covers advanced vocabulary and grammar and includes reading and writing exercises. It is designed so that students can work independently, with limited teacher support. It can also be used for IB/AS level or as cover work.

I created this resource for my year 12 student. It introduces the subjunctive in French, step by step and is linked to the topic of healthy eating. I have also added comparisons to Italian, as my student is Italian, but if that is not relevant to you, just delete that bit. Let me know what you think!

I made this lesson as an introduction to my unit on the media and the press. The text is about the press in France and the difference between newspapers and magazines, dailies, and weeklies, etc. It is an excellent opportunity to revise or introduce some key vocabulary related to this topic (hebdomadaire, mensuel, la Une, la police, les faits divers, etc.). There is a vocabulary exercise, as well as a comprehension task, and a gap-fill summar of the text at the end.

Activity based on an article published in Le Monde in Sept 17 which explores the relationship between the rise in natural catastrophes and climate change in the aftermath of the series of deadly hurricanes which have hit the US and the Caribbean in the Summer of 2017. This resource is an IB-style (Paper 1) reading comprehension for French B Higher Level students. It can also be used for A2 students, or students wanting to take the DELF B2/C1 exam.

I created this resource as part of a unit on education. It explores the strengths and weaknesses of different school systems around the world and gets students to think about how they learn and how different school systems attempt to provide the best answer to today's challenges around education. All sources are authentic (1 radio programme and 3 videos) and the links are on the worksheet. It is also an opportunity for students to learn and practise new vocabulary, as well as revise/learn about conjunctions that call for the subjunctive (bien que, pour que, sans que, etc.). This activity represents 1200 minutes of class work. This activity is ideal for A2 students, IB Higher level students or B2 level students.

It can also be used for IB/AS level or as cover work. There is a markscheme for all the exercises at the end of the document.

This worksheet contains a detailed explanation of how to use the pronoun 'en'. It looks at how to differentiate the pronoun 'en' from the direct object pronoun and gives a useful mind map for students to follow when they are trying to decide whether to use 'en' of the direct object pronoun. There are scaffolded tasks meant to build up students' confidence in their use of both the direct object pronoun and the pronoun 'en'. I created this resources for my Year 12 students who are doing IB French B at Standard Level. It can also be used with Higher Level students as a revision task or as a starting point for a more in-depth lesson on the use of pronouns.

This is a fantastic way to get kids to practise directions and places in town in a foreign language. Find a town where Google street is operational and make a list of instructions for kids to navigate, as if they were actually navigating in that town. It's a little time consuming to make, but kids really enjoy it and it's the next best thing to actually visiting the place in person! The follow-up activity is to get kids to plan one of their own in a town of their choice, to get them to practise places in town, using directions, and using the imperative. I have used it with my Year 8 group, as well as my Year 12 ab initio group, but it can be adapted to any year group by changing the level of difficulty of the questions.
