Use this resource to practise ordering an ice cream. Using the grid at the top of the page, pupils change certain details in the conversation, depending on what number is rolled on their dice.

Quite simply, a template for WWTBAM!

You could either use this yourself, or get pupils to use it themselves for revision.

Very popular with all my classes, especially more challenging groups! Add up vocab test results for each pupils and then write who's got the highest running total in the 'Current Wordmeister Supreme' box. Great competition!

This is a visual prompt for the popular activity of vocab tennis. It's simply a tennis ball being hit from side to side on a timer, so each pupil gets time to say something.

Vocab spinners. Cut these out and use them to revise vocab. Stick a stick in the middle and pupils spin it! On the second slide are the cards to use with the spinner. Pupils pick up one of the cards and do the challenge from the spinner. The challenges are: spell it, write it, define it, use it.

Play Trivial Pursuit as a class to practise different topics. Teams choose a number, which links to an unknown topic. They must then talk about that topic. If they do well, they earn a cheese.

This can be used in many different ways. For example, students play in teams. They choose a number in turns. Teacher reads out a word related to the topic and pupils have to translate it or maybe give a sentence with that word in it. If they are correct, reveal that number. They receive a point if there is ‘treasure’ under the number. There are 5 different templates here, as students may remember where the treasure is hidden! There are 5 different slides, so pupils can't learn where the treasure is!

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!

Pupils work in pairs. Give them a text to translate on the sheet individually to start with, then they swap for their partner to check (in their opinion). Their partner puts a mark in the box (my pupils like drawing sad faces for some reason!) for each error they think their partner has made. Encourages discussion.

I use this to do 'walk-throughs' with classes, especially GCSE. Show them the first section to translate, discuss and then show them how you translated it. Feedback from my classes has been great for this. They have found it very useful. It's almost like doing 'workings out' in maths.

Type in a word/phrase it the TL on one line and then the equivalent in English opposite it (as in the example). Do this within each inner section and then cut it up into cards. Pupils must then form a triangle with the cards by matching the TL to the English. Instructions are in the notes section of the PPT. It's worth Googling 'Tarsia puzzles'!

Very simply, a template for pupils to use to write about a week. They write the text in the lower box and draw a picture in the bigger box.

Enter words from the current or a past topic into the grid. In pairs, pupils must use as many of the words when speaking as possible.

Good for revision for speaking exams. Pupils can do this in pairs. In advance, choose the topics or sub-topics. Their partner decides if their answer is good enough. If so, they colour in the segment in the relevant colour. If not, they discuss why and may try again. This is just one of many possible activities.

Pupils work in pairs. They test each other on a set list of vocabulary, shuffled up (maybe on cards). One pupil throws a dice and moves that many spaces. Whichever number they land on, their partner asks that question. Works in the same way as ‘Snakes & Ladders’!

As pupils go down the slope, they start with a sentence starter and make the sentence longer and longer as they go.
