Here is a powerpoint presentation to practise food and quantities. Slide 1: match writing to picture. Slide 2: guess my partner choice or pair work mouthe and guess. Slide 3: complete the conversation with correct word. Slide5: feedback Slide 6: speaking task noughts and crosses

A powerpoint presentation to introduce different colours of hair and colours of eyes using different characters from Harry Potter. It can be used to recap previous learning or to introduce new vocabulary. I use slides 1, 9, 10, 11 and 12 to introduce new language. I get the children to repeat the new language (playing a repetition game against me). Then I reuse the same slides as a support for pair-work (mouthe and guess, encore une fois…etc). There is a speaking activity (nought and crosses game) where the pupils need to say the colour of hair or eyes or the hair length or style. The slide 14 is a model for a writing activity. Obviously depending on their ability or previous learning , pupils can say or write a bit more.

I made these worksheets for my year 6 but they can be used for older pupils. The various tasks will help practise their writing skill on breakfast food and drinks. The cross-words task can be used with help or with very little help depending on your children’s ability. For my class I only added a few letters for each word and they have to work out what could be the breakfast food. There is also a battleship to practise speaking as a pair-work.

Here is a powerpoint presentation and a worksheet on French Christmas with moderate to challenging language.On each slide you will find a recording attached (check speaker icon). You can play it without showing the slide and use it as a listening/comprehension task. I have attached a worksheet with questions to answer in English and some vocabulary to find in the powerpoint. I have also attached the answer sheet. If the sound does not work on each slide, I have attached a Youtube link with the audio recording.

Here are a couple of worksheets on fruit (label the fruit) and writing short sentences. You will also find a speaking task (guess your partner’s choice for each opinion).

Based on French sentence builders (primary part 1, the Language Gym), here is a very simplified powerpoint to recap feelings and adjectives. For each slide pupils have to choose the sentence that matches the pictures. They can write their answer on their mini-whiteboard or say it orally. I made this powerpoint for my lower ability group who struggle to write in the target language. The last slide can be used to recap all the vocabulary. Tell them an English sentence and pupils write the translation using numbers and letters. To go alongside the powerpoint is a worksheet to working on writing and reading skills.

Here is a powerpoint presentation teaching snack food and various drinks at the cafe. It includesdifferentiated writing tasks (guess the drinks or the snack by reading the clues/ translation, complete words with missing vowels, complete the sentences with the missing information using translation, replace pictures by the correct sentences, spot the mistakes and finally a listening task). I have attached a worksheet that goes with the reading, writing and listening tasks.

Here is a complete lesson on clothes and colour adjectives and how to apply the grammatical rules. I have included some tasks on the powerpoint that can be done verbally or on whiteboard to apply the rules (correct or incorrect, spot the mistakes). I have also made a pair work activity (battle-ship game) and a worksheet to describe what the pupils are wearing.

Here is a powerpoint I prepare to recap/ introduce gradually numbers 1 to 100. It aims at practising saying, reading and writing prices in euros. Prior to this lesson I taught various food and drinks and wanted to reuse this topic to learn how to say prices in euros. The first few slides aim at recaping numbers. From slide 5 I introduce how to say prices with decimals and want the children to write on their whiteboard or the attached worksheet the prices in words. There is plenty of written on each slide to help the pupil write the words correctly. From slides 9 I want the pupils to guess the prices of essential items (speaking), I can only help them by telling them ‘plus eleve’/ ‘inferieur’ or ‘plus bas’ /‘superieur’ . From slide 17 the pupils have to read the words and write the prices in words.Then I introduce numbers 70 to 100. From slide 25, pupils have to write prices in words and then from slide 30 they have to write the prices as a number.On the next slides I introduce the Euro coins and bank notes.

Here is a powerpoint presentation on places in town. It aims at teaching primary age children teaching or a lower ability class. I used the town of Redcar in the North East. The powerpoint has two workksheets (differentiated) to work on reading and writing skills. They are very easy tasks (circle the correct answers) and complete with missing vowels, replacing pictures by words. There is a comprehension task for the more able pupils. I have created a four in row speaking task to play in pairs or as a group (one with support il y a…and one with there is, there is no, there are…to translate). I have added a battle-ship speaking task for the pupils to play in pairs. Finally there is a reading task which can be used as a model for writing.

Read the clues in French and work out which monument/landmark is described.

These worksheets have been created to help year 6 children order breakfast food and drinks while visiting France. I use ‘je voudrais’ but this can be changed to ‘je mange’ and ‘je bois’. They would suit perfectly upper ks2 children and ks3 pupils.

Here is a range of activities for pupils to practise the future tense. The activities are all related to the holiday topic. I prepared three differentiated tasks. I made a fairly easy one to use for the lower ability pupils focusing mainly on the first person of the singular. The other two sets of cards have more challenging vocabulary (countries, leisure, time expressions, various pronouns and expressing a few opinions). These speaking tasks would suit year 10/11 who needs to practise their oral. It can also support them for writing about their future holidays by modelling correct use of future tense. The speaking tasks are to be used in pairs or in a group (one pupil shows the card, he/she hides one sentence and the others have to translate it in the other language).The quickest pupils to translate it correctly wins the card, at the end they count who has the most cards. After several speaking practices, pupils work on the worksheet (two different levels). I have also attached the correct answers for the writing tasks.

Here is a range of resources to practise common French words and short sentences. They can be used as a recap or to introduce French to new learners. There are a card game and a snakes and ladders game to practise speaking. There is a worksheet with differentiated tasks (the first two are for LA and the last two can be used for MA or HA children). Finally I made a powerpoint with audio recording (can be deleted) to listen to the sound of these common words/expressions. There is a slide on some French sounds and children have to list the words that have these sounds.

Here is a booklet (with differentiated tasks) on the Football Word Cup 2022. It gives the opportunity to recap names of countries/nationalities and the languages spoken. It also gives the opportunity to recap colours (flags) and tackles geographical and general knowledge. I have also attached the answer sheets. NB: To introduce players, I had in mind the clubs they play or played for and therefore the language they had to learn. However some football players may speak more languages e.g. Kylian Mbappe is apparently fluent in English and Spanish but has only played in France.

Here are various resources linked to the King Charles III’s. The first powerpoint contains some challenging language but it goes a worksheet (cut strips of paper and match the French paragraphs with the English ones) in order to help the pupils understand tricky language. Linked to this powerpoint is an easier translation task. The pupils have to work out the meaning of key vocabulary and label the pictures with the correct French word. The second powerpoint only has key words to practise. I get them to choose 4 or 6 key words from the last slide and play bingo. Linked to this simplified powerpoint, I have attached a wordsearch and simple cross-words. There are two differentiated reading tasks (royal family, colour of hair, eyes, family relation and age) and a very simple on King Charles and pets/animals. Pupils will have to fill in the missing words.

Here are three powerpoints to introduce adjectives to describe ourselves. One powerpoint aims at practising ‘je suis’ and the other focuses on ‘il est’ and elle est’. The third one is a mixed of ‘je suis’, ‘il est’ and ‘elle est’. I have added other famous characters from Roald Dahl and David Walliams. I have also included two differentiated worksheets to practise writing ‘je suis’ .

A worksheet to go alongside the powerpoint ‘comment tu t’appelles ? Comment s’appelle-t-elle/il?’ using famous historical figures or paintings. Opportunity to test children’s cultural knowledge.

A worksheet to practise writing and reading skills (differentiatied tasks) on breakfast food and drinks. I have used ‘je voudrais’ instead of ‘je mange’ and ‘je bois’. I usually prepare my year 6 for a French residential and I like to get them ready at communicating in French independently. My resource focuses on ordering food and drinks.

Here is a task I made for my end of the year lessons. You have to cut the pictures, the description and the names and the children have to match them after reading the description. It is in English as the language would be too complex for my primary children. This can be used as an end of year task.
