This activity can be done in pairs or as a class. As a class, one pupil leaves the room while everyone else decides what the correct sequence should be. The pupil re-enters the room and tries to guess the sequence. If incorrect, they have to start again. It's better as a pairwork activity. One pupil decides which options they want to use in the complete paragraph. The other reads through the paragraph, guessing the options as they go. If incorrect, they must start again. Cue lots of laughter!

French weather Pointless

(0)
Pupils work in teams to come up with 10 items of vocab within the topic area of weather. They write their words down on a piece of paper and give a second copy to the teacher. The idea is to come up with the ‘most obscure’ word (i.e. with the lowest score). Someone must add up each team’s score after their 10 words. The team with the lowest score wins! TIP: Print out a copy of the list on slide 3, so you can cross off the phrases done.
