Something I did during an "enterprise" day. Pupils advertise a product in French. You could show some ads in French first (vet them before you do!!). I've deliberately chosen the (silly!) products as they'll take ages to choose their own if not! If you can't film the ads, just "perform" them for the class. Make sure they all have a grid to fill in as they watch so they're not just sitting around!
End of year review: Spanish.
A simple pro forma with a summary of what has been studied this academic year with spaces to note improvements from teacher and student. A “looking to the future” section to fill in also. Print on double-sided, landscape A4.

You’ll love this French Valentine’s Day bundle.
What do I get?
Four photocopiable booklets for years 7 to 10 (available separately in my shop) to develop reading skills through French Valentine’s Day vocabulary. There is a wide variety of activities including puzzles, word matching, secret codes… Bilingual vocabulary lists are provided within each booklet to help reduce the reliance on the teacher, so these also make ideal cover lessons.
All my Valentine’s resources can be found together here:

Simple wordsearch starter or filler. Extend by not having seen the vocab’ before and look up in dictionary or glossary before completing. More able pupils could put the vocab’ into sentences.
Reading comprehension/gap-fill/matching exercises. May help with reading and listening tasks you will do or can be a stand-alone document to go alongside what you already do. Contains some higher level language. Tip: set short time limits per block of questions and go through them with the class when the time's up! Then move on. Keeps them on their toes and avoids inattention and lack of motivation if they find a particular task hard. Or, use the sheet as starters over a series of lessons. The bottom exercise has one answer missing: hopefully superlearners will spot this ;)
Powerpoint introducing healthy and unhealthy activities. Fits well with équipe nouvelle 2. Take out the sounds (or turn off your speakers!) if your class might get silly or you are easily irritated ;)
Print out slides as handouts for weaker groups to read from and/or note new vocabulary. Could also use slides as starting point for lesson before showing full powerpoint.
Simple Simpons' based family tree for Year 7. mother/father/brother/sister/grandma/granddad/aunt/uncle/cousin.
Includes "superlearner" extension task.
Print out or display on the IWB. Use the transcript (page 2) to make it a listening - read out or record or use text to speech online - copy and paste ;) Allow pupils access to it to make the worksheet a reading or to consolidate what gleaned from listening tasks. Some fairly advanced vocab' for some KS3 so some pre or post discussion/investigation by pupils might be required! Reflects style of FCSE assessments. The last question is just a reading and extension. Aimed at Level 5 FCSE.
SPANISH HW VOCABULARY SHEETS
If you use Viva 1, this is for Module 2 Mi tiempo libre.
What does it contain?
7 weeks of vocabulary learning to print
*How should I use it? *
Give out as individual sheets or trim for each week. Week 8, well, Christmas will be upon you!
You could always push these into next half term as they are useful words for any topic.
I’m hoping to make some activities to go alongside this so watch out!
Words in italics are extra ones which will be useful and relevant but could be left out if you wanted or used as extension.
