The writing wheel is designed as a support for pupils' writing, especially in a foreign language, which is one of the most difficult skills.
Add different elements of a paragraph into each circle, starting from the centre and working your way out. Then print out one or both slides (depending on how much you want pupils to write) as support for pupils’ writing.
Fill in the blank squares with relevant phrases from the lessons. Give each group of 4 a set of these cards. They put them in the middle, face down, and pick one up one-by-one and then place them back in the middle. They read what’s on the card. If it says ‘Tu triches’, they must make up a sentence without being obvious. Other players can say ‘Tu triches’ at any point in the game. If they’re right, the person cheating picks up all the cards from the middle and they start again. If someone says ‘Tu triches’ and the person they’re accusing is not cheating, then the accuser has to pick up all the cards. The winner is the first person to get rid of all their cards.
A simple worksheet for pupils to practise how to say what there is and isn't in town. Phrases have the vowels missing and pupils simply write them out correctly.
This worksheet is a simple practice of basic greetings (hello, where do you live, etc.)

Whole-class activity, which could become pairwork.
Instead of saying, for example, “2 plus 3”, you say, “une robe plus des chaussures”.
Students’ answers would then be “une veste”, instead of “5”.
Make the calculation as complicated as you like!
In the style of Mock the Week’s ‘If this is the answer, what is the question?’
In presentation mode, you will see only an answer.
