The second in a series of ‘doodle’ sheets. These sheets include a comprehension page where the boxes have been filled with text so teachers can use as a reading activity and pupils can use as a model for writing. These second page has empty boxes for pupils to write their own answers in. Also included are two one page learning sheets with lots of the vocab pupils will need to complete the task. The design is an important feature- I am trying to create something that will appeal to pupils aesthetically- something they will take their time with and take pride in.

5 worksheets with food/sports/transport/instruments/festivals and traditions from aroud the world. At the top, in French in a font which pupils can colour in are the words 'I learn about our differences, I respect other people and I am interested in (whichever if the 5 things above- food.festivals etc.) Then pictures of a range of those htings for pupils to label and colour. Great dictionary activity, great EDofL activity and if you introduce it using the video in the preview you are sending strong message about diversity and acceptance.

This is a link to my You Tube channel where you will find a whiteboard animation video. This is great to use in class with the pupils- can they translate te sentences quicker than the pen? They could write them down or say them out loud? A fabulous task to set as revision as well- pupils more inclined to watch a you tube video to music (I have great stats evidence for previous year’s videos - by analysing the demographics I know that thousands of pupils watched my video in the week before the French exams!) More topics on the way. There is a bundle of activities for this topic here https://www.tes.com/teaching-resource/gcse-french-role-play-task-at-the-hotel-11874119

Free video to accompany the Doodle sheet available.

This free video will work well for a quick simple recap of the basic language and you can follow up with the worksheet pictured here which costs £2 (includes a completed version, a blank version and two learning mat support sheets).

These 'all on one page' learning mats go beyond the standard vocabulary you might find in a textbook or PowerPoint presentation. The language is authentic, up-to- date and relevant including phrases such as hair extensions, false eyelashes, man bun as well as the usual basic stuff. Use as a speaking frame / a writing frame / a learning mat / a revision aid / an extension tool. The PDF is in colour but looks nice printed in greyscale as well. I usually print and photocopy in greyscale but put the colour version on the IWB.

All the vocabulary you need on one A4 page for teaching body parts and illness: use it as a learning mat, a homework sheet, a support sheet, an extension sheet, a revision sheet, a classroom poster...endless possibilities.

A fantastic support for all year groups. Would be good to have in a cardboard folder pinned to the wall for reference or enlarged and used as a poster. Print and laminate and use as a learning mat to boost confidence amongst new learners in the classroom. Great differentiation technique when dealing with mixed ability classes. Use it as a speaking frame / a writing frame / a learning mat / a revision aid / an extension tool. The PDF is in colour but looks nice printed in greyscale as well. I usually print and photocopy in greyscale but put the colour version on the IWB. 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.

Anybody with a class with difficult girls needs to buy this resource. I created this especially for my bottom set year 9 girls and it worked. Silence. Engagement. Enthusiasm! You will not regret this purchase. It is full of up to date language describing clothes that our pupils actually wear; the pupils were amazed at the 'cool' vocab lists with words like 'high tops' and 'playsuit'. The final outcome is a written paragraph about the t-shirt they have designed. At your discretion how they balance their time between sketching and producing written language! Vocabulary taught: T-shirt style (sleeve length, neckline, fit) T-shirt look (colour, pattern, slogan) Clothes to go with the t-shirt Accessories to go with it Advice on how to achieve 'the look' (using imperatives) Includes consolidation activities and comprehension. Printable worksheet slide included

*NEW EXTRA: I have added a fruit PowerPoint to bring more value to the resource. * Pupils race against the clock and each other to find the meaning of 22 fruits. Task 1: work on your won to find as many of the words as you can in the allocated time (teacher to set classroom timer and provide dictionaries). Task 2: work with a partner to share answers in the allocated time. Task 3: circulate the classroom and exchange words with others in an attempt to fill in the blanks (at this point I offer my own services and offer one exchange with each pupil- they have usually left the trickier ones to the end and might need you to support in this way in order to translate all 22). Most are fruit, some are liquids- enabling them to create a simple but delicious fruit smoothie. Task 4: select 5 ingredients for a fruit smoothie (you could reward the winner). Great for developing dictionary skills; increasing vocabulary; encouraging pupil interaction and using language creatively. 3 sheets are provided- 2 in colour (a pink version and a blue version) and 1 in black and white.

30 cards each with a different number between 1-30. 2 versions included: French only. French with digits for an easier game.

Then the player with 'j'ai cinq' shouts this out and their question and so on until the last player shouts 'La fin!'

A lovely triorama for places on town. Pupils cut out the square, fold and cut along the dashed line. They write a description of their town/their ideal town etc. then glue the two triangles together creating a pop up town. Makes a great display.

Recently added for better value: places in town flashcards.
