There is an example included in this template.
Pupils must name a word in French associated with the topic of, for example, physical appearance. If they mention any of the words you came up with as teacher, they are awarded the points you allocated to that word.
In pairs, pupils roll a dice to carry out the plenary tasks you have entered on the slide. To make it more challenging, pupils must change one detail in the phrase.
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.
Use the PPT to introduce and practise saying where it hurts.
Use the worksheet to practise the grammar point (j'ai mal au, etc).

Use this PPT to introduce parts of the body (I've included a lot!).
There's a simple introduction to parts of the body to begin with.
Then discuss with them what techniques will they use to remember each word. Pupils always come up with some interesting ideas… As long as they work!
Then, show the picture before the word to see what they remember.
Afterwards, in pairs, pupils take it in turns to throw the dice and then use the clues to complete the sentence (e.g. 'On marche avec...').
Then, go through the grammar point to say where it hurts.
Pupils then complete the matching worksheet.
To finish, play Connect 4 as a class. Each team takes it in turns to choose a phrase to translate into French. If they’re right, click on the relevant coloured dot to change the colour of the box to their team’s colour. 1 point for 4 in a row and 2 points for 5 in a row.
Introduce the directions in German and give pupils the handouts for note-taking. There is also a completed handout for weaker pupils, so they can concentrate on the presentation.
Then pupils complete the worksheet and finish the lesson with noughts and crosses.
There is also a hangman starter for the following lesson!
Introduce school rules using this PPT.
After introducing the rules, using 'il faut' and 'il est interdit de', students try to remember which of these to use for each rule.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
