In two teams, pupils choose a number and say it in the target language. If it’s correct, click on that number to reveal the random score that team gets. There are 2 ‘X’, meaning the team’s score is wiped out!

As in Mock the Week, pupils guess the question from the answer. When you click on the answer box, the question appears. Great idea as a starter.

This PPT introduces how to say that you like or don't like doing or playing something (using 'gern' and 'nicht gern'). The activities include sports and instruments. Having noted how to say like/don't like, pupils then put the sentences in the correct column. Finally, play a game of Random Scores.

I use this to do 'walk-throughs' with classes, especially GCSE. Show them the first section to translate, discuss and then show them how you translated it. Feedback from my classes has been great for this. They have found it very useful. It's almost like doing 'workings out' in maths.

Play Trivial Pursuit as a class to practise different topics. Teams choose a number, which links to an unknown topic. They must then talk about that topic. If they do well, they earn a cheese.

Pupils have a copy each of this sheet. In conversation, they must tick off as many opinion phrases as possible, by using them logically and sensibly in their conversation. Could be a competition to see who uses the most!

The whole-class version of Connect 4. Pupils work in two teams (red and blue) and their objective is to get 4 (or 3, if you prefer) of their coloured rectangles in a row. This can be vertically, horizontally or diagonally. In presentation mode, click on the relevant coloured circle to change the colour of the rectangle.

The students' favourite game! This is the original version. In teams (blue & red), pupils answer a question and choose a square from the opponents’ grid. Their opponents then get that score. They are allowed to steal one score only from their opponents throughout the game. An ‘X’ is a wipeout and wipes the opponents’ score.
