Good for revision for speaking exams. Pupils can do this in pairs. In advance, choose the topics or sub-topics. Their partner decides if their answer is good enough. If so, they colour in the segment in the relevant colour. If not, they discuss why and may try again. This is just one of many possible activities.

J'ai mal - introduction and practice

Use this PPT to introduce parts of the body (I've included a lot!). There's a simple introduction to parts of the body to begin with. Then discuss with them what techniques will they use to remember each word. Pupils always come up with some interesting ideas… As long as they work! Then, show the picture before the word to see what they remember. Afterwards, in pairs, pupils take it in turns to throw the dice and then use the clues to complete the sentence (e.g. 'On marche avec...'). Then, go through the grammar point to say where it hurts. Pupils then complete the matching worksheet. To finish, play Connect 4 as a class. Each team takes it in turns to choose a phrase to translate into French. If they’re right, click on the relevant coloured dot to change the colour of the box to their team’s colour. 1 point for 4 in a row and 2 points for 5 in a row.

Introduce the directions in German and give pupils the handouts for note-taking. There is also a completed handout for weaker pupils, so they can concentrate on the presentation. Then pupils complete the worksheet and finish the lesson with noughts and crosses. There is also a hangman starter for the following lesson!

When you click on the red line underneath a letter (if it’s correctly guessed), it will reveal the letter. In this presentation, the German direction phrases are pre-populated, which you will see when you open the presentation. To reveal the whole answer, click on “Reveal”. If the letter is wrong, click on one of the sections of the ‘hangman’ to the left. It will then turn red.

Add the first letters of words in a phrase, images or words. In teams (red and blue), pupils aim to make a continuous line of their colour horizontally. When they have chosen a hexagon and have answered correctly, click on that hexagon to change it to the team colour.
