UPDATED SEP 2020! French 'Tout sur moi' All about me sheet End of Year or First Lesson Back activity

(6)
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.

Letter to Father Christmas in French
betsybelleteachbetsybelleteach

Letter to Father Christmas in French

(2)
A cute French letter to Father Christmas: pupils simply write their name and age and address and ask Father Christmas for 3 things. You could provide a list, get them to look up in dictionaries or draw/stick images depending on age group and ability. To save printing costs (and extend the length of the activity), opt to display the letters on the IWB and pupils copy the model letter, filling in the gaps.
French Vocabulary Mat: Cafe and Restaurant (plus mini clouds activity)
betsybelleteachbetsybelleteach

French Vocabulary Mat: Cafe and Restaurant (plus mini clouds activity)

(1)
All you need for teaching café vocabulary and restaurant vocabulary on one A4 page: use it as a learning mat; a homework sheet; a support sheet; an extension sheet; a revision sheet or a classroom poster...endless possibilities. Also included: Mini word clouds- excellent starter activity. Great for revision as well. 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.

40 Task Cards and game board. The task cards vary in difficulty from multiple choice to translations. This set is a Christmas theme and is an excellent follow up to my Christmas PowerPoint presentation. All you need is willing pupils with some spare coins for counters. You don't even need dice. I have used this myself and it is a great way to let the pupils loose and engage in something challenging and exciting. Add an element of competition and you are on to a winner! Teacher notes and answer key included.

French Film Review Sheet and PowerPoint
betsybelleteachbetsybelleteach

French Film Review Sheet and PowerPoint

(4)
A great sheet to use in the last week of term to give the pupils something focused to do when you pop on a French film. For those who aren’t entirely engrossed they can answer the questions, add some doodles and decorate or colour the sheet. It gives a really educational focus to the film lesson (regardless of whether or not it is a TL film). Also included is a film genres PPT. If you are using it as part of your media module there are general questions about film and cinema and specific film review questions. They are all accessible and if you would like to add more complex/advanced questions there is a blank template for you to simply add a text boxes with more age/stage appropriate questions.

French Board Game: Near Future Tense

(1)
2 versions of this Near Future Tense board game: Game 1 is all in the first person Je vais écouter, je vais danser etc. Game 2 is a range of pronouns Elle va manger, ils vont jouer etc. Answers for each version are included so pupils can assess each other and work completely independently of the teacher. 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.

French Board Game: Sports
betsybelleteachbetsybelleteach

French Board Game: Sports

(0)
A game board to practise nouns and simple sentences. 2 versions included for differentiation purposes. Answer key included (so pupils work independently). Great to introduce sports in a novel way- give them the board game and a dictionary and it is a really fun way to challenge them to learn sports nouns. Use it as follow up once you have introduced the vocabulary as it is an excellent way of practising speaking and listening skills. Other important features: pupil independence, pupil collaboration, challenge and competition. I always have 100% engagement when I give them a board game (I have others available). A rewarding way to differentiate- what better incentive to complete the task than to know you can play a game at the end! No need to cut anything- just print. A4 is fine, A3 is great. Add dice and counters. (I get pupils to use spare coins for counters and lots of them have dice roll app on their phones these days if you are struggling for these). Any feedback is always gratefully received and if you have any requests for future board games please send me a message.
French Presentation: Family la famille
betsybelleteachbetsybelleteach

French Presentation: Family la famille

(2)
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.
French Interactive Quiz: Food
betsybelleteachbetsybelleteach

French Interactive Quiz: Food

(8)
An interactive quiz to use as snappy starter, fun plenary or engaging revision tool. 12 French sentences about food, each has a multiple choice answer. If the pupils selects the correct answer hey are sent o a celebration page. If the wrong answer is selected they are sent to an 'oh no' page with a funny voice. The pupils love this quiz. There are other versions available in my TES shop. You could turn it into a game of noughts and crosses of connect 4 by drawing a quick 3x4 grid on the whiteboard and pupils compete to see which team can complete a row first by answering their chosen question correctly first time. Please consider leaving feedback- it helps other users make an informed decision and really means a huge amount to me!
