I am a languages teacher who has, over the years, created many resources for teaching French and Spanish. I also produce resources in other languages: German, Italian, and more recently, Greek. Here I am sharing a few of these, in the hope it makes a hard-working teacher's life a little easier at a time when they need something quickly. Often adding more resources, so watch this space!

Pairs Memory Game - Frutta e Verdura

(0)
This PowerPoint focuses on a set of fruit and vegetables vocabulary in Italian, each with its own vocab slide. These can be used to help practise the vocabulary, which can then be revised further by playing the pairs game. You will want to play around with it in order to use it in a way which best suits your needs, but it’s highly customisable if you want to replace certain food items with others which you are teaching, change the colour of the board squares (e.g. into different colours for masculine/feminine items), etc. This PowerPoint is also available in an equivalent version in French, Spanish and German in my shop.
