The topic here is 'Where I live' (e.g. in the countryside, etc.) When they see the vocab, pupils put thumbs up or down, depending on whether they agree that the vocab matches the picture. If it does match, the thumbs up image shakes. If it doesn’t match, the thumbs down image shakes and the correct picture appears.

This PPT introduces various quantities to use with food & drink in French. It starts with an example conversation, buying food & drink and pupils must first identify the quantities. Then, the quantity phrases are formally introduced. Finally, pupils play noughts and crosses with the new vocab.

Give the students the gap-fill text about food & drink with 10 gaps in it (A to I). Of course, this can be more or fewer gaps – just remember to adjust the A to I in the table. In each gap in the text, write a letter (A to I). Along the corresponding row in the table, give 6 alternatives to go in that gap. Pupils then choose one by rolling a dice. When the student reaches the gap, they roll a dice and say/write the corresponding word.

This PPT introduces pupils to vocab about changing the planet (e.g. ‘I’m going to do charity work’). To start with, pupils identify what 3 texts are about using clues. Then, introduce the new vocab to pupils and then they fill in the gaps in the sentences and then match them to the English.

Teach pupils prepositions in German using this PPT. Each word has a simple visual clue to help pupils remember it.

In this PPT, show pupils a word or phrase associated with a particular tense and they identify which tense. Look at the clues as well. At the end of the PPT, show sections of a paragraph and pupils must identify the clues and tenses in each section.

Add your own verb and its paradigm to this slide, allowing pupils to practise conjugating the given verb in pairs, using a dice.

Give each pupil a handout of these slides, as well as going through how it works. Working from the centre circle, pupils choose options and add extra detail to produce a paragraph in the perfect tense.

Pupils roll a dice and then conjugate the given -er verb. Answers can be revealed at the end.

Teach pupils how to say 'of it' and 'of them' using 'en', using this presentation.

When teaching a lesson about using different tenses, show this on the board as pupils enter the room, giving them something to think about and get them ready for French! Each slide is timed and so can be played on its own. On each slide are words, such as 'hier', 'demain', etc.

Pupils roll the dice and then: ask a question, give a statement, say something positive, say something negative, say something in the future, say something in the past about a given topic.

Give the students a gap-fill text with 10 gaps in it (A to I). Of course, this can be more or fewer gaps – just remember to adjust the A to I in the table.

This is a translation lesson (from French into English) based on the lives of two different children of the same age in Haiti and the United States. The PPT includes a starter activity based on connectives and then looks at where both countries are and then to the two different texts to translate. The worksheet is the two texts. I get my students to write a rough translation on rough paper before copying their final version into their books, along with a copy of the French texts and each flag.

Cut the paragraph up on card (it's already spaced out for this) and pupils work in pairs to put the text into a logical order.

This handout accompanies the PPT introducing the simple future to students, including of course verb endings, but also the most common irregular simple future verbs.

Pupils correct the adjective endings, where necessary. The sentences describe teachers, so of course change the names!

Get pupils to stick this reference sheet into their books and learning about and practising the perfect tense in French. It includes a list of the past participles of the most common verbs.

This PPT introduces the possessive pronouns 'my' and 'your' in French.

Class dominoes is a great way to get the whole class involved and to keep their attention! Full instructions are in the document.
