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.

Support sheet for teaching the topic of ‘school subjects’ in French. Great for support, extra challenge, learning mat, homework sheet, revision aid… Includes a list of subjects. opinions and a few question prompts.

French lesson on a zombie attack. Pupils imagibe they are under imminent threat of a zombie attack. They translate a list of 25 objects that they can choose from to take with them to imporve their chances of survival. Some of sensible surival choices such a torch or a map. Others are sentimental such as a teddy bear or Xbox. There are also choices to make them think such as a diary (not helpful to fight the zombies but good for mental wellbeing). They make their selections and write them up in French. You could follow this up with a short survival skills debate (in English). Also included are two descriptions of a male and female zombie they could use as a comprehension then a model to create their own zombie. Also a ‘mini me’ zombie description writing activity.

The second in a series of ‘doodle’ sheets. These sheets include a comprehension page where the boxes have been filled with text so teachers can use as a reading activity and pupils can use as a model for writing. These second page has empty boxes for pupils to write their own answers in. Also included are two one page learning sheets with lots of the vocab pupils will need to complete the task. The design is an important feature- I am trying to create something that will appeal to pupils aesthetically- something they will take their time with and take pride in.

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.

3 Valentine's cards included. Simply print, fold in half and distribute. (Colour and B&W versions included) Pupils colour the cute picture on the front according to the French instructions given on the back eg. 'colorie le coeur en rouge'. On the back are suggestions in French for a message to write inside.

Amended to correct several mistakes. Please download the corrected versions if you have already purchased. Then you can email me at betsybelleteachesfrench@hotmail.com and I will send you a free resource by way of apology. 5 resources: Easter PowerPoint, Easter colour by instruction card, puppet story, interactive quiz and Easter Board Game. All 5 contain the same beautiful images and vocabulary for a series of activities this Easter that your pupils will love. Introduce and practise with the PowerPoint, develop speaking and listening with the board game and consolidate with the Easter cards (could be used as homework).

All the vocabulary you need on one A4 page for teaching directions: use it as a learning mat, a homework sheet, a support sheet, an extension sheet, a revision sheet, a classroom poster...endless possibilities. Also includes: Mini word clouds- excellent starter activity. Great for revision as well. Could give out as an extension tool for early finishers. Give them out upon arrival and give them a time frame. At the end of the timeframe pupils go head to head in a 'bidding war'. Each pupil says how many they can translate and have to prove it. The highest bidder goes first- if he can get to his bid he wins, if he can't the next bidder goes and has to get to his highest bid to win.

Distribute hearts to all pupils and they have to find their matching heart. Game 1 is matching names eg. Tu es Barack Obama, trouve Michelle. (Other half = Tu es Michelle). Game 2 is matching places eg. Tu veux visiter New York. (Other half = Tu habites a New York). Game 3 is matching hobbies eg. Tu aimes faire du sport. (Other half = tu es sportif). Game 4 is matching food eg. Tu aimes la cuisine italienne. (Other half = tu aimes la pizza). There are 16 matching pairs (32 halves) in each game but if your class is bigger i have included spare hearts for you to add your own. If your class is smaller simply leave some pairs out. The hearts are backed in colour for differentiation (tell pupils their matching half shares the same background colour.) Or print on in black and white to increase challenge. Make it more romantic by playing French love songs in the background as they circulate and only stop when the music pauses. Or tell them it is like speed dating and they need to find their matching heart before the music stops. Reward pupils for any French interaction you hear as they circulate the room.

*NEW EXTRA: I have added a fruit PowerPoint to bring more value to the resource. * Pupils race against the clock and each other to find the meaning of 22 fruits. Task 1: work on your won to find as many of the words as you can in the allocated time (teacher to set classroom timer and provide dictionaries). Task 2: work with a partner to share answers in the allocated time. Task 3: circulate the classroom and exchange words with others in an attempt to fill in the blanks (at this point I offer my own services and offer one exchange with each pupil- they have usually left the trickier ones to the end and might need you to support in this way in order to translate all 22). Most are fruit, some are liquids- enabling them to create a simple but delicious fruit smoothie. Task 4: select 5 ingredients for a fruit smoothie (you could reward the winner). Great for developing dictionary skills; increasing vocabulary; encouraging pupil interaction and using language creatively. 3 sheets are provided- 2 in colour (a pink version and a blue version) and 1 in black and white.

4 mini books: Christmas, Halloween, Easter and Springtime Each mini book has a teacher version in full colour and 3 pupil versions 1. Sentence level mini book 2. Word level mini book 3. 'Working towards writing' mini book (nouns already included, pupils colour the picture) These titles are also available in the 'Mini Books Growing Bundle'.

A game board to practise nouns and simple sentences. Great to introduce food in a novel way- give them the board game and a dictionary and it is a really fun way to challenge them to learn food and drink nouns. Use it as follow up once you have introduced the voacb as it is an excellent way of practising speaking and listening skills. Other important features: pupil independence, pupil collaboration, challenge and competition. I always have 100% engagement when I give them a board game (I have others available). A rewarding way to differentiate- what better incentive to complete the task than to know you can play a game at the end! No need to cut anything- just print. A4 is fine, A3 is great. Add dice and counters. (I get pupils to use spare coins for counters and lots of them have dice roll app on their phones these days if you are struggling for these). Any feedback is always gratefully received and if you have any requests for future board games please send me a message.

30 cards each with a different number between 1-30. 2 versions included: French only. French with digits for an easier game.

Then the player with 'j'ai cinq' shouts this out and their question and so on until the last player shouts 'La fin!'

A lovely triorama for places on town. Pupils cut out the square, fold and cut along the dashed line.

Recently added for better value: places in town flashcards.

Parts 2, 3 and 4 use the question 'ou habites-tu?' 'qu'est-ce que tu aimes manger? and 'qu'est-ce que tu aimes faire?' Great for getting the pupils speaking. A godd one off valentines lesson without having to teach them new vocab. Could even be good for KS4 to warm them up and develop confidence with familiar questions.
