You must buy sentences at every shop. Each sentence costs 1€. Each sentence is worth a different amount of winnings. Draw your Euros into your winning column. If you run out of Euros in your bank, you can use your winnings to buy sentences. The winners have the most Euros. Full instructions in the notes section of the PPT.

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.

Groups of 3 or 4. Choose a pupil at random to choose a number. Click on the number (on your computer) to reveal a word. All pupils have 30 seconds to write a sentence using that word. The most impressive (and correct) sentence wins a point for their team.

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. 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.

Go through each sound-spelling with the pupils. Then, play Kim's game using words containing the sound-spellings. There is then a Connect 4 game using the same words. The PPT then goes through a display about spontaneous speaking and then finishes with a dictionary challenge.

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.

On the topic of 'saying where it hurts', pupils select the 6 correct answers – focus is on the grammar (j'ai mal au genou, etc). They reveal either a tick or a cross when they click on their answer.

A card sort, allowing pupils to match the questions to the answers across different topic areas.

This is a really fun activity to do with a whole class! If they have the phrase that's just been said in one language, they stand up and say it in the opposite language. They then say the second phrase they have on their card. By the end of the activity, everyone in the class should have said a phrase in French about daily routine and time. Full instructions are on the bottom of the document.

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.

Pupils work in pairs. They take it in turns to roll the dice and say in French the corresponding phrase. For example, “Je porte des chaussures et un pull”.

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.

This PPT is on the topic of tenses, in particular the simple future. It starts with a translation challenges and then is followed by a sentence auction (instructions below). You must buy sentences at every shop. Each sentence costs 1€. Each sentence is worth a different amount of winnings. Draw your Euros into your winning column. If you run out of Euros in your bank, you can use your winnings to buy sentences. The winners have the most Euros. Full instructions in the notes section of the PPT. Students then use mini boards to translate the simple future phrases.

Idea lesson starter after being taught the present tense in French. Pupils find the 6 correct present tense phrases from the grid. When they click on the phrase, it will either show a tick or a cross.

Recap on near future phrases using this Have I Got News For You-style resource.

I have these cards cut up into their categories and on different colours of card. Each category then has its own mini drawer in a mini storage chest in my classroom (found it on Amazon). More advanced students use the cards to make their own sentences, selecting the categories they wish (pronouns, verbs, etc).

The pictures and phrases are placed around the room (several copies). Pupils work in groups of 3 or 4. Each person has 30 seconds to go up to the pictures and memorise as much information as possible without speaking. They return to their group and relay as much as possible. Pupils take it in turns to do the same. Each person has 2 chances to do this.
