The text is on the topic of free time and is aimed more at KS3. 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.

The writing wheel is designed as a support for pupils' writing, especially in a foreign language, which is one of the most difficult skills. In this case, the topic is leisure. Starting from the centre, pupils write something from each circle and work their way out. Then print out one or both slides (depending on how much you want pupils to write) as support for pupils’ writing.

This PPT introduces the verb 'aller' to pupils, along with its importance in the near future tense.

The text is on the topic of smoking and is aimed at KS4. 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.

Pupils choose a number between 1 and 5. Click on the number and it will take you to the corresponding topic. Pupils talk for a minute, answering each question. The blue arrow takes you back to the numbers slide. Questions are about holidays in German (e.g. What do you like doing on holiday?)

This PPT introduces the topic of ideal holidays, using 'je voudrais' and 'j'aimerais'. Introduce the vocab section by section. Each image appears with the relevant part of the sentence, also highlighting how to build the sentences. Pupils then match up what they have learned to the English. There is a translation activity after this and then a game of the famous 'Donate or Steal' at the end. Instructions are in the notes section of the PPT.

Use this PPT to introduce 24 different jobs in French, masculine and feminine.

Use this PPT to introduce saying which sports pupils like and don't like doing, using 'gern' and 'nicht gern'.

Pupils use an example text to translate (and sometimes adapt) the given English text into the target language. In this case, pupils have to translate the underlined words/phrases as one (e.g. ‘during the holidays’ is a phrase either found in the text exactly or very similar). After being marked by the teacher, pupils then set a target before re-writing it. Whilst marking, simply write your literacy code in the boxes (for higher ability) or put the code on the pupils’ answers as well (for extra help). There are additional boxes for WWW, EBI and a post-marking re-write.

This worksheet allows pupils to work together to talk about holidays, including their opinion, different tenses and activities. They choose an option on each line and give a sentence or phrase to make it make sense.

This PPT introduces the idea of using 'gern', 'lieber' and 'am liebsten' to talk about what you like doing in your free time. It also looks at the word order - pupils then put the words in order to make a phrase.

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.

To begin with, pupils match the definition from Wikipedia to the appropriate sport on the screen. At the end of the presentation, there is a random score team game to practise the vocab.

This resource practises questions, sports and developing answers.

This PPT shows a short description of one of the four gadgets in French and pupils must correctly identify the gadget.

Pupils work in pairs. Give them a text to translate on the sheet individually to start with, then they swap for their partner to check (in their opinion). Their partner puts a mark in the box (my pupils like drawing sad faces for some reason!) for each error they think their partner has made. Encourages discussion.

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.

This can be used in many different ways. For example, students play in teams. They choose a number in turns. Teacher reads out a word related to the topic and pupils have to translate it or maybe give a sentence with that word in it. If they are correct, reveal that number. They receive a point if there is ‘treasure’ under the number. There are 5 different templates here, as students may remember where the treasure is hidden! There are 5 different slides, so pupils can't learn where the treasure is!

Quite simply, a template for WWTBAM!

Vocab spinners. Cut these out and use them to revise vocab. Stick a stick in the middle and pupils spin it! On the second slide are the cards to use with the spinner. Pupils pick up one of the cards and do the challenge from the spinner. The challenges are: spell it, write it, define it, use it.
