GCSE French powerpoints for quickfire testing. Snippets of grammar. A very short snippet, phrase or word to translate and then the answer on the next slide. Designed to be quick and low stakes. Students write answers on mini white boards and hold up. Answers could also be given orally or just written as a list in books. English to French too hard? Do the powerpoint backwards! I use my clicker to change slides quickly. These are ones I’ve used with my own classes. There is a foundation (or easier) version and a higher (or harder) version. I use this activity again and again with the same slides (they get better at it). It’s a starter or a good time filler if you have a few minutes and want to get some energy back in the room. I do 10 minutes worth and then stop wherever I got to (or it gets boring). I use the same one for year 9, 10 and 11. It’s not pretty but it’s effective.
