Year 12 starter activity. Each slide of the Powerpoint features a headline relating to the topic of Family. Students must decide in each case whether the accompanying statement is true or false.

A set of questions about how you spent your birthday with two mini-toolkits to help students generate answers in the Perfect and Future tenses.

Interactive multiple choice quiz on the London Olympics. The programme will shuffle the possible answers into a different order each time it is opened. Will work on PC or IW.

Two interactive drag and drop exercises practising useful French verbs. Will work on PC or IW.

Two interactive multi-choice activites for practising 'es gibt'. Will work on PC or IW.

Interactive drag and drop practice of ser and estar. Will work on PC or IW. (With regard to the comment posted below, the left hand column is not failing to function; it is fixed and you have to drag the items in the right-hand column over to their equivalents on the left-hand side.)

Simple quiz. Each slide of the powerpoint begins with an outline map of one of the competing countries in Euro 2012. A click of the mouse will reveal the football strip of that country, modelled by a Subbuteo / Zeugo figure. Another click will reveal the flag of that country. A fourth click will reveal the name of the team. How many clicks do your pupils need before they identify the team?

This worksheet contains two sets of exercises designed to go with the T-Mobile Royal Wedding spoof which can be found on Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kav0FEhtLug The resources are pitched at different levels. (i) Practice of FAMILY and CLOTHING (ii) Slightly easier version practising FAMILY and COLOUR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kav0FEhtLug

Four short texts about the contents of your schoolbag, followed by a grid for capturing various German plural forms. This is intended as an introduction to the variety of plural forms in German.

Text based on an article about the German enthusiasm for football. All the gaps in the cloze exercise are verbs. At the end one verb will remain unused.

Short texts in which teenagers describe the situations in which they get in to trouble. The grammatical focus is on Wenn-Sätze. Pupils also have to indentify and record a number of Wenn-Sätze from the text and generate new Wenn-Sätze using a toolkit.

Interactive drag-and-drop activity for practising the German equivalents of the 12 most commonly used English words

Two linked interactive activities. The first is a drag and drop exercise, which practises a number of verbs in the Imperfect. These verbs re-appear in the second activity, which is a cloze exercise based on two short news reports of a road accident and a fire.

Two writing tasks designed for Asset Grade 4, but will do just as well for NC Level 4. Each task covers a range of fairly prosaic information but in a preposterously unlikely setting.

Materials to go with the Vodafone ad on Youtube 'Es ist deine Zeit'. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxGiWgyetZ8 This has worked well with classes of all abilities.

2 interactive drag and drop exercises, one more challenging than the other. Pupils must put the German titles of the Harry Potter films into the correct sequence. Includes practice of the ordinals 1 - 8. Will work on PC or IW.

Two linked resources. The Word doc contains an account of Beyonces summer holidays. The html file is an interactive gap-fill activity, based on the same text. Work through the text, give the students a couple of minutes to re-read the text carefully, then ask them to cover the text up / put it out of sight, before doing the cloze exercise with the class.

Playscript for beginners. The script practises basic personal ID language BUT with a handful of high-frequency constructions in the Perfect tense thrown in. If you have an alien mask and / or a bee costume, you can play all the parts yourself to the bemusement of your pupils. Pupils should practise the script in threes, then write an extension to the story. Vocab list of more improbable characters supplied.

Revision of the future tense, followed by predictions about the European Championships for pupils to agree or disagree with, using the future tense. (This is an updated version, in which I've substituted players who I thought would be playing for ones who actually are!)

Interactive drag and drop exercise featuring all the Olympic disciplines for London 2012. The file will select ten sports at random from the full list, to make a new quiz each time it is opened. Will work on PC or IW.
