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.

Use this PPT to introduce both rooms of the house and areas where people live (countryside, etc.) Items of vocab are colour-coded, accordingly mainly to gender.

Activities in town. To start with, show the phrases for the activities with the words jumbled up. Pupils can then work out (if possible!) what the correct word order should be, before being told what the activities are. The second activity for the pupils is one where all the images of the activities are on the board and when you say one of the activities in French, they raise their hands, according to what symbol is by the picture. Finally, pupils translate the sentences into English at the end of the PPT. The sentences are saying what you can do and where.

Use this PPT to present the rooms of the house in French. Each room on the floor plans is a link to the corresponding slide with the vocab. Click on links to take you to the upstairs floor plan and to the game at the end of the PPT to practise what the students have just learned (Connect 4).

Perfect practice for GCSE students and their speaking skills. A simple but effective board game, using counters and dice, practising talking about where you live. At different places on the board, students must, for example, talk about advantages and disadvantages, say where they would like to live in the future, etc.

Pupils use the worksheet (and their knowledge of countries in Europe) to label the map of Europe in French. This could be done previous to or following teaching of countries in Europe or maybe a quick pre-worksheet quiz about the countries in English.

The text is using the imperfect tense to talk about where you used to live. Read the text to the class (or get them to read it). In 2 teams, they then choose one of the English words/phrases at the bottom and find the correct French equivalent in the text. If they are right, click on the English to reveal a random score for their team. A good way to make reading a bit more interesting and fun.

Print this writing wheel out for pupils to use when writing a simple short paragraph about where they live. Work from the centre outwards, using the extra phrases around the edge for extra information.

A simple worksheet for pupils to practise how to say what there is and isn't in town. Phrases have the vowels missing and pupils simply write them out correctly.

Pupils work in pairs to read the paragraph about rooms in the house. Each pupil has the same paragraph, but with gaps in different places. By reading to each other, they fill in the gaps in their own paragraph, promoting speaking, listening and transcription skills.

Use this PPT to introduce the students to the facts about the French language. On the following slides, students identify the slowly-revealed flags from either general knowledge or even football knowledge!

This PPT introduces some differences between France and the UK. Go through the chosen differences with students, allowing them to guess which country it refers to. The following slides are extra bits of information. Students use the clues to work out what the differences could be. Finally, give students facts in French to translate – they then choose a square and if there’s a treasure underneath, they get the point for their team. New addition - noughts and crosses to practise the new vocab!

When you click on the slide, the picture very slowly reveals. Pupils could then, with the vocab in front of them, race to be the first to name the place. The final slide is a game of our famous 'Donate or Steal'. In teams (blue & red), pupils answer a question and choose a square from the opponents’ grid. Their opponents then get that score. They are allowed to steal one score only from their opponents throughout the game. An ‘X’ is a wipeout and wipes the opponents’ score.

Use this PPT to introduce places in town in French. On the first slides, in two teams, students choose a square. Click on the square to reveal a part of the image underneath. Students decide to either guess the place in French or pass to the other team. If they guess correctly, they get a point. If they guess incorrectly, the other team get the point. This encourages students to use context and clues to work out the new vocab. Finish with a team game. Students choose a number and answer a question about places in town. If they guess correctly, click to reveal their score underneath.

Use this slide as a handout for weaker pupils, instead of asking them to make notes when being taught directions in German.

Use this resource alongside the PPT to introduce directions in German. Give pupils a copy of this slide to make notes when being taught directions.

Use this PPT to present directions in German. The PPT features an animated arrow, followed of course by the German phrases for the corresponding directions.

Use this PPT to introduce directions to pupils in French. There is a map with an animated arrow to show the directions as well as giving the French. Pupils then match the French to the English in their books.

This can be used with any language. Pupils play in two teams. When you click on the O or the X, the square will change to either O or X. Instructions are within the PowerPoint.
