This PPT visually introduces such phrases as ‘at the weekend’, ‘twice a week’ and ‘sometimes’ in French.

Use this PPT to introduce pupils to both the comparative and the superlative in French. There are also step-by-step examples at the end of the presentation.

Pupils each have a copy of this sheet. In pairs, they must point to one of the adjectives, choose someone who has that character trait and then give a sentence in French.

Pupils simply fill in the missing vowels in the French months.

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

Use this PPT to talk about healthy eating. The food triangle demonstrates how much of each food group should be consumed. There are examples of each food group, approximate quantities and a match-up activity.

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 idea of this activity is for the pupils to give the four French paintings their own titles. It’s amazing what they come up with! I would advise you give them dictionaries. Ideal as a starter for a dictionary skills lesson.

I sometimes use letter shapes as a starter activity. Use the shapes on the sheet instead of the letters themselves. You could leave accents above letters as they are, or use the shapes for those as well.

This PPT introduces the concept of après avoir and après être and then practises it.

Get pupils to stick these tables into their books for reference. Definite and indefinite pronouns and their cases (masculine, feminine, neuter and plural + nominative, accusative, genitive and dative).

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!

On the first slide, in line with the GCSE speaking photo card, pupils give sentences about the picture. This is an introduction to the topic of the advantages and disadvantages of social media. On the following slide, phrases have been taken from a text about social media. Students decide whether the statements are advantages or disadvantages. Students then use mini whiteboards to recap the vocab. To finish, students challenge each other for the next lesson. They all write a phrase from this lesson on a Post-It and stick it to the back wall. These are then randomly given out to the students as a starter in the following lesson to be translated.

Whole-class activity, which could become pairwork. Instead of saying, for example, “2 plus 3”, you say, “une robe plus des chaussures”. Students’ answers would then be “une veste”, instead of “5”. Make the calculation as complicated as you like!

As simple worksheet to allow pupils to practise how to ask and say if they have pets.

This PPT introduces the simple future to students, including of course verb endings, but also the most common irregular simple future verbs. It finished with a mini whiteboard activity. Pupils write the correct translation of the phrases on their boards.

Use this PPT to introduce household chores. At the end, there is a game where pupils must raise one or both hands to show comprehension.

Give each pupil a set of these cards when practising new vocab, for example. It's a good way to show pupils' understanding.

Just like the Radio 4 show, the timer lasts for 1 minute. Get students to talk for one minute about a given topic in the TL.

This is a text about what sports you do in three tenses.
