A text about holidays I did with my Yr10 students. There are two differentiated question sheets: one with questions and students have to find answers and vocab and the other one with multiple choice questions and also vocab to find. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback!
An activity I have designed about pastimes in French. Would suit Yr9, Yr10, Yr11. I have used it as a starter. Students go around the class and ask each other for the answers. Each person who gives an answer signs their initials. The idea is to try and get your students to communicate with everyone in the room. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback :-)

Three little bits of text I wrote on school with some comprehension questions. Nice reading exercise to check on learning or HWK task. I did it with my Yr7. Good for colours and clothes recognition too.

Here is a Powerpoint showing how to write a poem with Yr7 students once you have taught them colours and using a bilingual dictionary. I guess you could use it with other year groups too as it has imperfect/conditional. It's a good exercise for them to acquire new vocabulary in a fun way. I have put together this quick Powerpoint presentation on how to do it. The example used are from my students who have done French for two months. A creative and enjoyable activity.

A cultural project which I did with my classes in MFL(Spanish) as a competition but I guess you could use for other lessons like geography or citizenship. This project took a week to complete. Students worked in groups of 3-4 and then presented their work (PowerPoint/brochure). A nice end of term or year activity with a cultural take on it to fit new curriculum (global dimension). Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
A second quiz I have tried this with Yr9 and Yr10 and the students really enjoyed it. Print all photos and display around the room. I have taken these photos myself. Real French Authentic resources. Then give students the quiz questions (35 questions). Questions are differentiated: one all in French, one half French half English and one all in English. You will also find the answers to the quiz. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback! :-)
A worksheet with some questions about El Salvador which I did with my Yr9 students studying Spanish when learning about Spanish speaking countries in the world. Students answered the questions in pairs and created a Powerpoint presentation which they then shared with the rest of the class.
I have also attached the answers to the questions. Enjoy and don't forget to feedback :-)
