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!
An interactive quiz- excellent starter, plenary or revision tool.
The master slide has 12 question numbers to choose from; each question takes them to a multiple choice slide with a choice of 3 answers.
If they select the incorrect answer they will be sent to a 'oh non!' slide and can click on a funny 'oh no' sound. They keep going until they get the answer correct.
If they select the correct answer they are sent to a 'très bien' slide and the powerpoint returns to the master slide.

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.

New Board Game added Thursday 21st April: Near Future Tense
There are currently 5 board games in this growing bundle but I will continue to add more.
If you buy this bundle today you will be able to re-visit the resource and download any future board games at no extra charge.
Current board games:

A bundle of 6 learning mats ideal for introductory lessons.

4. Personality descriptions
5. School equipment and colours
6. Animals
Includes:
3 PowerPoint Presentations: Sports that go with 'jouer'; Sports that go with 'faire' and Extreme Sports.
2 Sports Board Games (simple and more complex)
4 mini books: Sports with 'jouer'; sports with 'faire'; extreme sports and Olympic Games.
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.

Once you have purchased this resource, should you need any support with pronunciation of the story (I know many primary teachers are non language specialists); you may email me at betsybelleteachesfrench@hotmail.com
A simple story with 9 paper puppets for pupils to cut out, colour and label.
Pupils cut out, label and glue the puppets (option for teacher to use pre-coloured or black and white templates)
Teacher reads the story (email support available for non specialists who are unsure of pronunciation)
Pupils listen and each time they hear a character they place them on the scenery mat.
The story tells them exactly where to position each paper puppet but the PowerPoint acts as a visual support if hey need it.
Options to differentiate- suggestions given.
A printable dictionary for your pupils to use as a reference but more importantly to add to throughout the year as they study new topics and encounter new words.
Each page has a section where I have written common words including nouns, verbs and adjectives and a lined section for pupils to note their own additions.
There are also reference pages for the following topics containing short glossaries of the essential words: greetings, days, months, seasons, colours, school equipment.
There is a spare page at the back that you could print multiple times should they need more space. I recommend using treasury tags to hold the dictionary pages together. This will allow the pupils the possibility of adding extra sheets and adding revision sheets as they revise the vocabulary.
If teachers request it, I will make this resource available in black and white but it looks great printed in greyscale
