I have made this series of resources to help the students to understand the excitement, challenges, history and prestige of this incredible event and to teach them facts and vocabulary associated with Le Tour De France.

La course couvre près de 3 500 kilomètres. Le coureur avec le meilleur temps total est le leader de la course et porte le maillot jaune. Slides 5 to 16 reveal the answers. The students will now watch an excellent 10 minute YouTube video explaining the Tour de France. This has brilliant graphics, but the narration is in English so I have written a worksheet with 17 multiple choice questions in French.

Slide 18 has the board game which you should print off. Also in the resources are templates for dice and a cyclist template which the students can colour in and use as their counter. There are a series of multiple choice question cards to print off which cover all the information taught in the lesson. The students should answer the question correctly before being allowed to shake the die. Weaker students could be shown the questions (covering the answer below) and you may allow them to translate the question and possible answers into English together too. Slide 19 allows time for reflection.

Slide 3 states the objective: Objectivo: To learn about el fútbol & Euro 2016 and to respond creatively to your learning. Slide 4 has a YouTube link to follow to use with the attached worksheet. This uses the official UEFA promotional video (3 mins 57 secs) and the worksheet builds vocabulary, cultural and factual knowledge such as the locations of the stadiums, their capacities, cultural images and numbers of matches, volunteers, teams etc. The worksheet is differentiated with an Extra! challenge section. The answers are on the first page of the worksheet. Slide 6 introduces key vocabulary and can be used with the matching cards. The students should work in pairs/ groups to match the vocabulary and the picture using their previous knowledge, cognates and a process of elimination. Vocabulary: Un futbolista El guardameta El réferi El estadio La pelota La copa Una bandera Un equipo Una tarjeta amarilla La cancha Una camiseta Unos botines The activity is differentiated as follows: All: Match Up! Most: Perfect Pronunciation Challenge! Some: Quick Fire Questions! (Here the students quiz each other: French to English, English to French, spellings, accents…..). Slides 7 to 18 show each word and the matching picture and colourful animations. Slide 19 has all the pictures for a quick recap. Then there is graded questioning: Slides 20 to 31 have A, B, C multiple choice questions. Slides 32 to 45 are “What’s missing?” slides. Then slide 46 has a YouTube link to the official song and video (3 mins 49 secs) and students should note down new nouns and adjectives expressing the emotions they see and feel (if they don’t know the Spanish they can grab a dictionary later!) The creative challenges are presented on slides 46 and 47, this is to either create an acrostic, a calligramme or a poem (there is a poem template provided). This information is also on the accompanying worksheets. Slide 48 provides the opportunity for reflection. I really hope you and your students enjoy these resources!

I have planned this lesson not only to teach vocabulary and facts about football, France and Euro 2016, but also to help the students to respond creatively to their learning and hopefully share their passion for football! The PowerPoint uses matching cards, colourful pictures and animations and YouTube extracts set to music to inspire the students. It is planned to use with students from Years 6-9 (the final task is very open-ended).

I made this flowchart to help my students form the perfect tense for regular past participles, irregular past participles, verbs that take être and negatives. The second slide also includes reflexives. I thought it would be great to create a Perfect Tense machine, hence the Perfectatron! I print out a colour copy for each student to stick in their books. You may wish to use this with my Perfectatron Challenge Worksheet. The Perfectatron Challenge! This sheet should be completed using the Perfectatron with avoir, être and negatives. Students work through the following challenges, then we check them together as a class. All: I entered (m)= ______________________________ I fell (f) = ______________________________ You (informal, m) arrived = ______________________________ He went = ______________________________ She went = ______________________________ We went out (mixed group) = ______________________________ They stayed (group of girls) = ______________________________ They entered (mixed group) = ______________________________ I read = ______________________________ He said = ______________________________ They drank = ______________________________ We learnt = ______________________________ She saw = ______________________________ I watched = ______________________________ You (formal/plural) finished = ______________________________ He played = ______________________________ She listened to = ______________________________ We chose (choisir) = ______________________________ Most: Create complex sentences using: MRS VAN DER TRAMP verbs: ______________________________¬¬¬¬-_________ Irregular verbs with avoir: ______________________________¬¬¬-_______________ Regular verbs with avoir: ______________________________________________ Some: Create a complex, negative sentence for: MRS VAN DER TRAMP verbs: ______________________________¬¬¬¬-_________ Irregular verbs with avoir: ______________________________¬¬¬-_______________ Regular verbs with avoir: ______________________________________________ Mega Challenge: See some, but now using a range of tenses, adjectives and opinions. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
