This PPT introduces some facts about Christmas in France and can be used in conjunction with the Christmas wordsearch, where a lot of the vocab used is introduced. For the wordsearch, students use a school French dictionary to look up the English Christmas words and find the French words in the grid. The PPT starts by introducing and then practising some facts about Christmas in France, followed by a video of a Christmas market in Mulhouse, Alsace. There is then a Connect 4 game, practising the vocab and facts, followed by an Advent Calendar team game. Instructions are in the notes section of the PPT.

This PPT introduces pupils to vocab about changing the planet (e.g. ‘I’m going to do charity work’). To start with, pupils identify what 3 texts are about using clues. Then, introduce the new vocab to pupils and then they fill in the gaps in the sentences and then match them to the English.

Hand out one card to each student as they enter the room. It doesn’t really matter who gets what. They have to complete the task after they’re settled (e.g. after writing the date, etc).

Tasks include ‘You are a translator for this lesson!’ and ‘Get a purple pen from the top drawer, check your book for errors and correct them.’

Finally, there is a matching activity.

Use this as a random picture selector: Press F5 and then ‘s’ randomly.

One of my personal favourites! Have a reading text in the box. In 2 teams, pupils choose a word to find in the text. The pupils don’t know what each word is worth. Click on the word they have chosen when they have correctly identified it in the text and their score will be revealed. The winning team is the team with the highest score once all words have been found in the text. 3 slides with different scores.
