It’s just a list of questions I’ve used with KS3 pupils on the theme of giving personal information. It covers most things! The list is in French only. See my other resources for more tasks to work with these questions.

A quick activity: 10 countries in French as anagrams. Easy to photocopy with 4 on a sheet of A4. Answers provided on second page. Could be a starter or a little worksheet, good way to revise countries if you haven't seen them in a while.

A simple phonetic guide to the French alphabet, ready to print out for your wall.

A simple information-gap task for pupils to complete the endings for avoir, être, aller and faire in the present tense. Ask them to write the English too if you like. Easy to extend by insisting on full sentences. Answers provided on second page of document.

A set of sentences for pupils to build up in the perfect tense with the first person only. Pupils choose appropriate vocab to match each past participle. Easy to make more challenging by asking pupils to add more details/opinions/change the person, or even rewrite into a story. Useful as a starter for pupils who are encountering the perfect tense for the first time.

A simple poster showing the first most basic word order rules for German. Could be used as a display or added to a mat or stuck into books.

A straight forward vocab list, handy for a lesson starter: translation task, pronunciation practice, quick-fire pairwork quiz, or ask pupils to extend the sentences with more details or turn the sentences into different tenses.

A set of cards for pupils to practise counting up to six. Each card has a printed number and corresponding amount of pictures of clothes pegs. Pupils attach the clothes pegs to the card, one to each picture. Clear and simple graphics, suitable for children with autism.

A simple phonetic guide to the German alphabet, ready to print out for your wall.

A list of phrases containing French sports: pupils must complete the spellings of the sports correctly. Easy to photocopy 4 lists on a page of A4.

A quick checklist for a piece of French writing, suitable for KS3.

A set of spellings are shown for lire, sortir, aller and faire in the present tense: pupils can give the correct subject for each conjugation and spot the deliberate mistakes. Easy to extend by insisting on full sentences.

A quick starter activity where pupils have to spot the difference between the present and perfect tenses. Each line has 3 options, the odd one out could be either tense. Could be extended by asking for more verbs which follow the same pattern, or by asking for complete sentences using each verb.

Use this for display, revision, a lesson starter or homework task. It’s a list of time markers and past participles (split into 2 lists: haben/sein), each with the English next to it. You could ask pupils to make up sentences or a paragraph using these; they could test their partners on the German/English for each.

A French starter activity with suggestions of what life will be like in the future, using ‘on va/on ne va pas’, could easily be adapted to use whole aller paradigm. Pupils can construct complete sentences and match to pictures, could extend this by adding more detail or substituting the vocab.

This straightforward task card helps a pupil to understand when a task is complete. Write their name and what the task is on the sheet, then tick a box when each part is completed. This sheet shows 10 boxes to tick, but just cut off the second row if you want 5, or adapt it yourself for any other number. I have used this with tasks such as "Count out the right number of tokens" - I say "three", pupil counts out 3 tokens, then I tick the first box, and so on. Useful with children with autism, who sometimes struggle to understand when a task is complete. Suitable for laminating and use a whiteboard pen.

This provides pupils with an example of a brochure about a health farm. It was made to support lower ability pupils - they had to adapt my document by swapping in their own vocab, I set each pupil a target of how many words of their own they had to put in.

I made up this fairly naff song to the tune of Rudolf The Red-Nosed Reindeer, using past tense vocab we had learnt. Pupils had to translate into English and also make up their own verse to go next. The brave ones performed for everyone!

This is a word document with 8 different tongue twisters in German.

A detailed text in French about a student's ideal school uniform. Information is given about current uniform in the present tense, then ideal uniform is described in the future conditional. Could be used as a translation text (may need cutting into shorter chunks), good revision material, or a lesson starter with comprehension questions made up by the pupils.
