A whole lesson (or 2) literally drilling the differences in patterns for key hobbies verbs ans some irregular verbs in the infinitive, present, perfect and near future. A lot of repetition involved at the beginning which can seem quite daunting/boring but I explain to my students that you don't remember something after having it seen/heard/said it just once and they get on board with the experiment. Instructions for each activity are in the notes section on the slides. The word document has to be printed on coloured paper/card (purple for infinitive, red/pink for present, blue for perfect and green for near future). They then need to be sliced and each student should have one of each tense/colour that they can then put up/show in relevant activity/ies.

A first (revision) lesson on building an account of a past holiday. Revises: past tense of key verbs, key vocabulary (weather, destinations, transports, who with? duration, accommodation) using thinking skills activities. It usually comes up in Y10 but I used it with a top set Y9. Enjoy ;)

Describe colours in French - early Y7 or perfect for Y6 Induction day Various activities: repetition, mixing colours, I spy, say the colour you see not read, colour by numbers. I would also normally have the linguascope worksheet but I cannot include that slide because of copyright. Should last an hour.
