Great end of year activity especially for pupils who enjoy doodling and making things look pretty- this is surely a winner for a gel pen fan! It would also make a great first lesson
3 slides included
Pre-populated poster with answers filled in.
A version with questions written at the top of each box for pupils to respond to
An empty version without the question so pupils have autonomy over content. This is also editable so you can amend the language according to your year group and topic. Simply add text boxes over the box and put your own question in.
Two word mats are also included to support pupils with vocabulary they probably should know but maybe haven’t used since September/October and they want some kind of reference! These make great start of topic glossaries or learning homework sheets as well so print and use next year.
An easy activity to set up which will keep pupils engaged and enthused.
Print off the 2 board games plus answer sheets.
Give dice and counters (could be scrap of paper with pupils initials).
Pupils play with answer sheet freeing you up to lead another activity or intervene to support.

Bright and attractive. Educational. Great for collaboration. A fun twist in revision.
Good extension task- why not print them off and stick them in a plastic wallet on the wall for pupils to come and play when finished main activity.
Minimal prep: If you forget to bring dice pupils can play with a coin: move forward 2 spaces for heads, 1 space for tails. They can use a tiny scrap of paper for a counter.

Are you ready to explore Paris in this Virtual Field Trip? This resource includes videos, 3D visits, challenges and puzzles so your students can feel like they have been to Paris without actually having to leave the classroom.
Students will visit Paris via PowerPoint. Their journey begins at the airport where they have to search clues to make it to the correct gate and board the plane. A video shows the plane take off and land before they find themselves in their hotel room with a view of the Eiffel Tower.
From here they click on the four landmarks which takes them to a new slide with a choice of four varied and interactive activities. From videos, puzzles to fact sheets there is so much for them to do.
The PowerPoint is easy to navigate with clear instructions and buttons directing them from one activity to the next and then back to the hotel room.
At the end of the visit there is a certificate which they can add a text box with their own name before saving the slide or printing it off as a certificate.
If you get a chance to leave feedback please do so, it really does mean a lot both to me and future buyers.
Thank you and bon voyage!

Could give out as an extension tool for early finishers. Give them out upon arrival and give them a time frame. At the end of the timeframe pupils go head to head in a 'bidding war'. Each pupil says how many they can translate and have to prove it. The highest bidder goes first- if he can get to his bid he wins, if he can't the next bidder goes and has to get to his highest bid to win.
Reading Comprehension for the topic of Daily Routine.
This resource comes with three levels of diffculty, each level comes with a French version and an English version. PDF version and PowerPoint included, The PowerPoint has editable text so you can tailor it to your student’s needs if needed.
This PowerPoint introduces extreme sports, consolidates learning, develops pupil dialogue, tests comprehension and culminates in a written paragraph full of opinions about extreme sports with justification and a range of tenses.
Slide 1. Extreme Sports Vocabulary
Slide 2. Match up French to English.
Slide 3. Categorising activity
Slide 4. Simple Q&A with model answers
Slide 5. Simple Opinions
Slide 6. Advanced Opinions
Slide 7. Categorise 'for' and 'against' opinions.
Slide 8. Short comprehension.
Slide 9. Sentence starters in a range of tenses.
Slide 10. Teacher v. Class Battle
Slide 11. SuperSentence writing frame
Slide 12. Pupil dialogues with checklist
Slide 13. Extension Activity/Homework

Slides 1-8: Introduce and practise vocabulary. You could also print these slides off to use as flashcard games or wall displays.
Slide 9: All family members on one slide to consolidate followed by intro of possessive pronouns.
Slide 10: Reading. Short paragraph of Juliette describing who is in her family. You could follow this up with question to your pupils ‘qui est dans ta famille?’ Pupils use Juliette’s paragraph as a model.
Slide 11 Family tree. You could use this for Q&A. eg. ‘Comment s’appelle le père de Juliette?’ ‘Il s’appelle David’.
Slide 12. Extra vocabulary. Taking pupils beyond the immediate family to include aunts and uncles, step-sisters etc. I find that it is too long-winded to teach this in a ‘drilling’ fashion so I would go through it as it is displayed in a table on the IWB and then print off as a reference sheet- particularly useful for pupils with large families.
Slide 13. ‘Les mots volants’ game. This is a chance for pupils to participate and let off a bit of steam. As the words ‘fly’ onto the board they shout them out in English. I love doing this as a whole class as it really builds confidence and enthusiasm but you could shout an individual’s name out in between words or use lollipop sticks to pick a different pupil each time.
Slide 14. ‘Qu’est-ce qui manque?’ game. I usually ask pupils to identify the word that has disappeared and tell me both the French and Englsih equivalent. You could still play as a whole class by letting the group call out the French word as it disappears and you following up with ‘and what does it mean?’
Slide 15. ‘Qui suis-je?’ Reading comprehension with famous families. Answers appear on the click.
Slide 16. Listening grid. This is very simple because most of us have access to excellent listening material but it just gives you a quick to chance to assess aural comprehension at word level. Grt pupils to writr 1-6 on mini whiteboards or in books and you choose six of the words to say, they write down the corresponding letter. You could always increase the level of challenge by including the word in a short sentence.
Slide 17. Noughts and crosses. You could use this as an exit game or as refresher the following lesson. Choose two individuals or play boys v girls. Or teacher v class.
