Great lead on from my Easter PowerPoint.
Great speaking and listening practice.
Increased enthusiasm and engagement.
Adds dimension of competition.

3 Valentine's cards included.
Simply print, fold in half and distribute. (Colour and B&W versions included)
Pupils colour the cute picture on the front according to the French instructions given on the back eg. 'colorie le coeur en rouge'.
On the back are suggestions in French for a message to write inside.
A game board to practise nouns and simple sentences. Great to introduce food in a novel way- give them the board game and a dictionary and it is a really fun way to challenge them to learn food and drink nouns.
Use it as follow up once you have introduced the voacb 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.
3 Christmas Card Designs (Christmas tree, Father Christmas and Mrs Christmas, Rudolph)
Pupils colour the picture according to the instructions.
I have included colour background and black and white version to save on printing.
Simply print, pupils fold in half, write a message inside (suggestions provided).
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.
2 versions of this board game:
Game 1 is all in the first person
Game 2 is a range of pronouns
Answers included.
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 Section - 3 pages of perfect tense
This is a growing resource. I will add sections over the next week- buy it now at a very low price and benefit from downloading it again in the future for free (once the resource is bigger).
It currently provides guidance for writing about holidays in the present tense...but you won't be disappointed, there are some fabulous sentences for your pupils.
This writing guide is more suitable for higher ability pupils.
Each resource is on sale at £3, buy them together for £5- this weekend only!
Please see individual listings for further description.
Feedback will be greatly received. Merci!
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.

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!

In groups or pairs pupils read clues, put them in chronological order then plot the clues on the line graph.
The clues describe Chloé's shopping trip for school stationery and the graph will represent what time she did something/bought something and how she felt. Extra Challenge - does she have enough money left for a milkshake?
Great for deep learning, numeracy, pupil collaboration.
Credit card sized 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.
