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.

This is a presentation to show pupils how the 'ne...pas' wrap around the verb to form the negative of a sentence.

Teach pupils how to use the modal verbs in French - pouvoir, devoir and vouloir. The presentation shows the conjugated verbs to start with and then asks pupils to test their memory by asking them to match the correct verb to the pronoun. Then, they must remember how to spell the verbs. At the end, they must translate the sentences from English into French.

Simply another PPT to introduce pupils to -er verbs in French.

Teach pupils how to form -ir verbs in French using this PPT.

Use this as a random picture selector: Press F5 and then ‘s’ randomly. Whatever the picture is and the symbol at the bottom of the slide, pupils must take it in turns to say something – a question about the picture, an exclamation, a positive, a negative, something in the future and something in the past.

One of my personal favourites! Have a reading text in the box. In 2 teams, pupils choose a word to find in the text. The pupils don’t know what each word is worth. Click on the word they have chosen when they have correctly identified it in the text and their score will be revealed. The winning team is the team with the highest score once all words have been found in the text. 3 slides with different scores.

Insert random words, or words from the current topic into each slide. Then, press F5 to start the presentation loop. Press ‘S’ to stop and start the loop again. For each random word it lands on, students have to include it in a paragraph or a 1-minute talk, for example.

Students choose a number and have to make a sentence with the word shown. Depending upon ability, they could make new sentences with the following words chosen, or they could try to make a story with the following words.

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.

Copy pictures or type words into each of the blue boxes. Pupils choose a box by saying the word or phrase (or a sentence) represented by the picture/word. Click on that picture/word if they get it right and reveal the random points they get for their team. A lot of luck involved here!

Enter your own questions into the spinner and press 'S' in presentation mode to stop on a random question.

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.

Fill each slide with a question. Pupils choose a question number and teacher clicks on the number to take them to that question.

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.
