I am a languages teacher who has, over the years, created many resources for teaching French and Spanish. Here I am sharing a few of these, in the hope it makes a hard-working teacher's life a little easier at a time when they need something quickly. Often adding more resources, so watch this space!

Los oficios - ¿que falta? Spanish vocab learning game - professions

Los oficios - ¿que falta? Spanish vocab learning game - professions

(0)
A Powerpoint to help students learn Spanish vocabulary related to professions. Useful as a starter for the classroom or any language lesson. 3 slides have vocabulary and a picture for each profession. These are then followed by a group of slides for each group of professions where each has a profession missing which the student needs to name. Highly versatile in terms of how it’s used and could be made more difficult for more able learners, e.g. by asking for the word in a sentence, in a sentence in a different tense, checking the gender, etc. Also available in my shop in German, Italian and French.

Mir geht es nicht gut - Connect 4 - Illness - German

(0)
A 12-slide Powerpoint to introduce vocab items in German to describe feeling unwell. There is an individual slide for each vocab item to aid teaching as well as a vocab list and Connect 4 board game with counters. The game needs to be played in Edit mode otherwise the counters won’t move. I usually split groups into 2 and have them compete to remember key vocab/phrases and make it more difficult for more able groups, e.g. put the sentences into different tenses, etc.
