Task is printed twice on page one, for quick photocopying if necessary.

A "cluedo" style task, could be used as a starter: one pupil chooses a person, a house and a detail from the list and the others (whole class/small group) must say different combinations of the vocab until they work out which one was chosen. Make it more complicated with a system to say if any of the guesses have any correct elements ("un/deux points") or give no clues, which just makes everyone get more practise at the phrases!

A sheet showing six different length rulers. Print it twice, cut out the ruler pictures from one sheet and ask pupils to lay each picture on the corresponding ruler on the complete sheet.

This straightforward task card helps a pupil to understand when a task is complete. Write their name and what the task is on the sheet, then tick a box when each part is completed. This sheet shows 10 boxes to tick, but just cut off the second row if you want 5, or adapt it yourself for any other number. I have used this with tasks such as "Count out the right number of tokens" - I say "three", pupil counts out 3 tokens, then I tick the first box, and so on. Useful with children with autism, who sometimes struggle to understand when a task is complete. Suitable for laminating and use a whiteboard pen.
