Please read the Terms of Use. My younger students love to see Spanish displays in the classroom, and they also work really well for older beginner Spanish learners too. There are 25 fruits and 25 vegetables, definite article, feminine and masculine, singular and plural, which is a very useful tool for promoting discussion about the concept of gender in Spanish. I vary my Spanish classroom displays quite regularly, and have different posters up at various times of the school year. We use them as speaking and pronunciation prompts, and for guessing games too. We don’t actually learn 25 fruits or vegetables at this stage, but I use a range that includes some that children may not know yet, such as starfruit and aubergines. That’s ideal for discussing healthy eating, and for generally developing children’s vocabulary in their own language too. The posters work really well as flashcards too, and they’re great for introducing and practising language with a ‘low-tech’ method, giving us all a break from the whiteboard, which children definitely enjoy! The fruits are: green apples; red apple; bananas; cherries; dates; fig; green grapes; red grapes; kiwi; lemon; mango; nectarine; olives; oranges; papaya; peach; pear; pineapple; pumpkin; raspberry; redcurrants; rhubarb; starfruit; strawberries; watermelon The vegetables are: artichoke; asparagus; beetroot; broccoli; cabbage; carrots; cauliflower; celery; corn; cucumber; eggplants / aubergines; French / green beans; garlic; leeks; lettuce; mushrooms; onions; peas; red peppers; yellow pepper; potatoes; sprouts; spinach; sweet potatoes; tomato The posters are 8.5 x 11 (A4) portrait size, with two backgrounds to choose from - Spanish flag or black wave. Laminate if you can - they are far easier to work with as flashcards, and as posters, they’ll hang really nicely, and remain in excellent condition for years.

PRIMARY FRENCH VOCABULARY KS3 FRENCH VOCABULARY BEGINNER FRENCH VOCABULARY CARDS THREE SETS @ £3.50 EACH IN THE BUNDLE 594 matching French and English games cards with two Reference, Recall & Write Workbooks, focusing on 297 beginner French words and phrases. Files are non-editable files in a zipped format. Please read the Terms of Use - the resource is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed outside your own classroom in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. The vocabulary groups are as follows: = Les salutations = Les jours de la semaine = Les mois et les saisons de l’année = Les couleurs (masculiine & feminine) = Les nombres 0-60 = Les animaux = Les fruits et légumes = Les parties du corps (singular & plural) = Ma famille = Mots fréquents = Les matières scolaires = Le français pour la salle de classe = Quel temps fait-il aujourd’hui ? = Bavardons ensemble ! = Questions et réponses* My students really like to work independently, in pairs and in small groups, and these vocabulary cards enable them to do that. There are lots of games and activities to play, and I’ve described several that are successful with my groups. I’ve found that giving students regular and frequent opportunities to play with the cards, not only when we’re focusing on these particular vocab groups, but across the school year, and even when they’re far more advanced in their learning - all learners benefit from going back to the start! There’s definitely some prep involved - printing, laminating and cutting out - laminating is certainly worth the effort, as the cards are a lot more learner-friendly, and do last for years. Students don’t have to play with full sets - they can work with selected vocab groups. There is an 18-page workbook for each set, which gives students a different way of consolidating their vocabulary - writing it out really helps to embed language, and is great for spelling too. There are 3 differentiated recall and write challenges, as well as a full alphabetical French-English vocabulary list, which works well as a longer-term reference resource too. My students learn a lot from applying their French practically with the game card templates - they enjoy creating cards for each other. I use the workbook for homework, holiday work, practice and revision or sub lessons - they’re really versatile. Written Recall Challenge One: students write the English word / phrase from a French prompt, with all the words and phrases grouped together in the same category Written Recall Challenge Two: with this challenge, students write the words / phrases in French from an English prompt, and again, they’re all group together in the same category Written Recall Challenge Three: this final challenge ‘switches’ at each question from French to English, and lists words and phrases randomly from each category - I’ve found that this really does encourage my students to think hard about their French vocab. Have a browse in my store for more French independent learning activities, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning resources, with French dollar deals, special offer bundles, and lots of freebies - I’ve included a couple here for you to try.

KS3 GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS KS4 GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS GCSE GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS KS5 GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS ALEVEL GERMAN SPEAKING SKILLS TWO SETS OF 100 GERMAN CONVERSATION STARTERS @ £3.75 EACH Files are non-editable in a zipped format.

The license for purchase is a single-user license only. Please read the Terms of Use. Speaking is a language skill that learners tend to find very challenging, and increased engagement with language that requires them to both reproduce language they are already familiar with, and to be creative with that language in order to produce new language is integral to successful language learning. The questions focus largely on the present tense, with some examples of the past tenses. I include tenses we may not have formally covered, as the activity is not solely about practising language, but also about actively learning it. I encourage students to look for cues and clues in the questions themselves, and this certainly enables them to engage with new or unknown language successfully, and to progress in their learning. Each card has an image: some of these are specific visual prompts to help students infer meaning; some are more generic images. I do use images as much as possible with this kind of activity, not only to provide the prompt, but also to add to the visual appeal of it, which is a real motivator for learning. I remind students that it is not necessary to tell the truth - the purpose is to create and produce accurate and realistic language. Students can prepare their responses in as much detail as possible on the accompanying planning sheet, remembering that these are conversation starters, so that once they have responded, they should then say something to keep the conversation going. As a whole-group activity, distribute the cards amongst your students, one or several. Ideally, they should walk around the classroom, asking questions, and swapping cards. For pair or small-group work, students can work in a designated area. This really helps them focus closely on the language, and helps learners who are slightly less confident working with a larger group. The starters broadly address the following themes: Set 1: personal information : family & routines at home : hobbies & free time : likes & dislikes : local environment : food & drink school & studies : sport & healthy living countries & languages : weather & seasons Set 2: music : film & television literature & culture : personal life, information & preferences : leisure & free time : health & well-being : history & society : recent & current events : travel, tourism & holidays technology & social media : likes & dislikes local environment : environmental & social issues : education & studies Have a browse in my store for more German resources, with special offer bundles, German resource boxes, and lots of freebies.

GCSE FRENCH KS4 FRENCH KS3 FRENCH CONJUGATION PRACTICE REFLEXIVE VERBS PRESENT, PERFECT & IMPERFECT TENSES 3 workbooks @ £1.20 each in the bundle 25 high-frequency reflexive verbs, 150 conjugation questions in each set across 3 differentiated challenges, so 450 conjugations in total, answer keys & verb lists The product is non-editable in a zipped format.

Please read the Terms of Use. My students really like this kind of grammar activity, as they like to work and learn independently, which is a successful way of varying teaching and learning methodologies - I’ve found it’s really important to avoid predominantly teacher-led learning in the languages classroom. French reflexive verbs can be quite tricky, particularly for students whose first language does not have a similar reflexive verb group. The workbooks focus on formation and conjugation, rather than usage, though it’s definitely useful to remind students of a number of things when focusing on or revising tense and verb formation and conjugation. Language learners do often try to conflate what they know about grammar in their first language with the grammar of the language they are learning, and students whose first language is English often use the auxiliary avoir instead of être with the passé composé for example. Students do need to to have a good grasp of the auxiliary verb être in the present tense to ensure that they can form the perfect tense in French accurately. In terms of the past participle, students begin to be able to predict it accurately, the more they see it, and construct it. French reflexive verbs tend to require additional practice for learners with English as a first language - firstly, the correct reflexive pronoun, and secondly, its location within a clause or sentence in relation to the pronoun and verbs. With l’imparfait, I often see students using j’étais me lever, je m’étais lever or even j’étais se lever instead of je me levais as a translation of I was getting up. There are specific differences in usage between English and French with this tense, and I do always discuss this with students about this when we’re using the workbooks - I tend to work fairly simultaneously with le passé composé and l’imparfait, because students are better able to understand correct usage when they look at a range of past tense contexts together, for example I have got up, I got up, I was getting up, I used to get up. Though the workbooks focus on formation / conjugation, rather than usage, I do always discuss these kinds of issues with students about this when we’re using the workbooks. I’ve found that this kind of conjugation practice workbook really helps students to***recognise and predict*** conjugation patterns. Though the workbooks focus solely on the correct conjugation of verbs, and does not look at word order in the context of full sentences, there are conjugation patterns that students can learn, recognise and apply, ensuring that their spoken and written French is accurate, and that their understanding of French across the skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing is robust. Students become very familiar and confident the more they work with conjugation, and these quick conjugations certainly help to embed that successfully. The tenses are: present tense (le présent) perfect tense (le passé composé) imperfect tense (l’imparfait) Each set has the following structure: Two alphabetical verb reference lists: French-English and English-French. Three conjugation challenges, each with 50 individual conjugations: Conjugation Challenge 1: each verb conjugated in French across a range of pronouns, with students writing the corresponding English verb conjugation. Conjugation Challenge 2: gives the infinitive of each verb in French, specifying the target pronoun. Students write the corresponding verb conjugation in French. Conjugation Challenge 3: students write the corresponding French verb conjugation, and its infinitive, from an English prompt. Notes and Next Steps template which students visit regularly - it really does encourage them to think about where they are now, how confident they feel, and what they might need to work on a little more to be absolutely sure of their conjugation skills. We also note down any new verbs we meet, which enables students to build up their own verb vocabulary bank. It’s a great tool to guide and inform whole-group discussion about learning and progress in general, which is a really successful and popular activity. answer key: 6-page booklet which is absolutely essential in my view. Answer keys help students develop more independence in their learning, and provide them with an additional opportunity to engage with language and grammar. They also genuinely enjoy correcting their own - and particularly each others’ - work. Currently in my store I have quick conjugation workbooks for each of these verbs groups across the following tenses: present tense (le présent) simple future tense (le futur simple) near future tense (le futur proche) perfect tense (le passé composé) imperfect tense (l’imparfait) conditional tense (le conditionnel) pluperfect tense (le plus-que-parfait) future perfect tense (le futur antérieur) conditional perfect tense (le conditionnel passé) Have a browse in my store for more French grammar activities, and a wide range of other French teaching and learning materials, with special offer bundles and lots of freebies too!

The focus is on key beginner French vocabulary: = les jours de la semaine : the days of the week = les mois et les saisons de l’année : months & seasons of the year In each set, there are 5 French to French grids, where students are prompted with French words, and look for them in French in the grid. For additional consolidation, each grid also features an English word list that they have to complete, really putting their knowledge to the test. There are also 5 English to French grids, where the prompt words are given in English, and students have to find the French equivalent in the grid. For additional consolidation and practice in writing in French, they also complete the French word list on each page. Students can tell in which direction the words are written by looking at the arrow key on each grid. There is an answer key for each word search, so that learners can check their answers - or use for a little extra help if they need it. The word searches are in landscape format, as this mirrors the common direction of reading from left to right in English and French, facilitating learner engagement with the word searches. Answer keys are an essential and integral element of the learning activity: they provide students with an additional opportunity to engage with language, also helping them develop more independence in their learning. They genuinely enjoy correcting their own - and especially each others’ work - and they’re a great teacher time-saver too, which is always a good thing!

PRIMARY FRENCH TELLING THE TIME KS2 FRENCH TELLING THE TIME KS3 FRENCH TELLING THE TIME I HAVE, WHO HAS? every analogue clock time with matching clock faces - six games, six challenges, 3 sets @ £2.50 each in the bundle Files are non-editable files in a zipped format. Please read the Terms of Use carefully. The product is copyright, all rights reserved. It may not be copied, rewritten, shared or distributed in any way. The license for purchase is a single-user license only. I have, Who has? is a great language learning game. The repetitive nature of the questions and answers, supported by the visual prompt of the clock faces, makes it perfect for practicing, reinforcing & refreshing how to tell time in French. It’s a whole-group communicative game, with a multi-skill focus on speaking, listening, reading, vocabulary-building and developing accurate pronunciation. The game really does help to create a lively language learning environment, and is a great alternative to more traditional ‘drilling’ activities. This bundle features 3 separate games sets, each with a particular range of clock times - across the three sets, every single analog clock time is used. There are four cards per 8.5 x 11 page - I always make sure that font and text size is fairly large for beginner French and Primary French learners, as it’s essential that the text - and therefore language - is fully accessible. In the Primary French classroom, we do often have learners who are just beginning to learn how to tell time in their first language, so it’s really important to make learning French manageable in my view. There’s definitely some prep involved - printing, laminating and cutting out - but it’s definitely worth the extra time, as the cards are a lot more learner-friendly when they are sturdier, and they last for years too. Groups of students can play different games against a timer in a competition - who can complete their timeline first? It’s great fun, and really popular. There are two games in each set, with a different challenge: Challenge 1: with all the the clock times in numerical order, which is how they probably first learn the times Challenge 2: with the all the clock times in random order, which really helps recall and embedding new language Have a browse in my store for more French resources, including special offer bundles and freebies.
