This PPT introduces the concept of masculine and feminine to students (using 'un/une').

This is an information PPT for students, designed to prepare them for the AQA GCSE listening and reading exams, although I’m sure it’ll work with the Edexcel papers too. The PPT includes some tips, ‘pesky words’, synonyms, etc.

The text is on the topic of traditional food in Francophone countries and is aimed at KS3 or 4. In 2 teams, pupils choose a word to find in the text. The pupils don’t know what each word is worth. Click on the word they have chosen when they have correctly identified it in the text and their score will be revealed. The winning team is the team with the highest score once all words have been found in the text.

This PPT introduces the idea of using 'gern', 'lieber' and 'am liebsten' to talk about what you like doing in your free time. It also looks at the word order - pupils then put the words in order to make a phrase.

Use this PPT to introduce the weather in French. To start, the weather is shown on a map of France. It is worth looking at the patterns of language used here (il y a / il). The patterns are colour-coded. Then the vocab is formally introduced. Following this, pupils must identify the weather in French as it whizzes past.

This PPT introduces pupils to prepositions in French, using Where’s Wally? Pupils must find Wally first. After he’s been found, introduce the preposition. At the end of the presentation, pupils must then match the French preposition to the English.

This worksheet allows lower ability pupils to practise German directions.

This Connect 4 game practises the simple future of both regular and irregular verbs in French. Pupils work in two teams (red and blue) and their objective is to get 4 (or 3, if you prefer) of their coloured rectangles in a row. This can be vertically, horizontally or diagonally. In presentation mode, click on the relevant coloured circle to change the colour of the rectangle.

Simply the French colours in a bubble on each page, with the French underneath.

This PPT introduces the topic of ideal holidays, using 'je voudrais' and 'j'aimerais'. Introduce the vocab section by section. Each image appears with the relevant part of the sentence, also highlighting how to build the sentences. Pupils then match up what they have learned to the English. There is a translation activity after this and then a game of the famous 'Donate or Steal' at the end. Instructions are in the notes section of the PPT.

Use this PPT to introduce the advantages and disadvantages of technology. Start by seeing if students can work out if these are advantages or disadvantages of technology. Students then discuss in pairs how they (could have) worked out the English meaning, using the clues.

On this worksheet, pupils fill in the gaps with the correct preposition, describing where the shops are on the street.

This activity can be done in pairs or as a class. As a class, one pupil leaves the room while everyone else decides what the correct sequence should be. The pupil re-enters the room and tries to guess the sequence. If incorrect, they have to start again. It's better as a pairwork activity. One pupil decides which options they want to use in the complete paragraph. The other reads through the paragraph, guessing the options as they go. If incorrect, they must start again. Cue lots of laughter!

Use this PPT to introduce school subjects. Start by getting the pupils to identify opinion phrases from the text and then school subjects.

Finally, use the Follemathiques activity to add a competitive edge to the lesson.
