A word exchange activity which requires pupils to translate 20 Christmas gifts from French to English. They attempt it first on their own, then paired up, then they circulate to exchange answers with pupils around the room.
This would lead nicely into writing a letter to Father Christmas. I have a template for this available in my Christmas Bundle or on its own- just search in my shop.
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.

- a PowerPoint with all my usual games and opportunities to practise all four skills

- a letter to Father Christmas- great for younger learners and lower ability groups
- Christmas cards to colour- these fold into cards with French instructions on the back such as ‘colour the ribbon in red’

Bundle of resources to teacg animals including a PowerPoint presentation, a one page learning sheet (great to print and laminate for year round use), a word cloud odd one out worksheet and a quiz which is great for G&T pupils.
A collection of resources to teach numbers 1-20 in French including flashcrads, an interactive quiz, a word cloud, odd one out and one page learning mat. The one page learning mat is something that I think every classroom needs laminated 30 copies of for pupils to use regularly- it's great!
Great starter. Pupils pick a box and it sends them to a slide with a number written in French and a multiple choice of answers written as digits. If the pupil matches the correct answers it sends them to a celebration slide. If the pupil makes the incorrect chocie it sends them to a 'oh no' slide and then sends them back to make their choice again.
A video featuring a range of faces, foods from around the world, architecture and landscapes and celebrations form around the world. The video opens with a quote about the diversity and closes with the line 'One human race'.
The video should provide springboard for discussion and reflection.
To follow this up I have produced some worksheets featuring things form the video- 5 versions- food, music, sports, transports and festivals from around the world. They can label and colour these and a lovely quote is included at the top about respecting difference and valuing others.
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.
Three European Day of Languages resources included in this bundle: a board game, a flag colouring activity and a video about diversity with French quotes and 5 colouring sheets about cultures around the world. The sheets are in English as well as French to sue in tutor time or any workshop.
There is an extra resource thrown in- an animal quiz- nobody has ever bought it but I love it and it will be useful to G&T pupils next half term.
All you will need for a strong and engaging first lesson with your new classes. That first lesson back can be a bit flat because they resources for greetings and simple questions and answers can be pretty dull.
Whether you buy this bundle to use with beginner learners or as a refresher lesson for new classes, you won't be disappointed.
I have included a great video with music and robots for immediate impact- pop it on as they walk in. The PowerPoint introduces the vocab so you can drill and then includes some classic language games and a chance for you to get them to listen and match up (and copy the lang into their books if you wish). There is a 'one page learning' great for differentiation, as a support tool, a revision sheet, homework, learning mat...whatever you like! An interactive quiz for a snappy start or memorable exit game and two versions of follow me cards (small class or large class). Second PowerPoint to introduce days of week and months of year also included. GREAT VALUE!!! Please consider leaving a review :)
