Fun whole class PowerPoint activity for primary or KS3 classes: English with a bit of maths. Great for starters or plenaries.
Teacher calls out a number (eg 12) which is the sum of two digits showing on the screen. Pupils choose two numbers (eg 8 + 4) that add up to the teacher’s number and, if correct, they turn those two cards to reveal two letters.
As more letters are revealed, the spelling begins: pupils make as many words as they can. They are scored according to the number of letters they contain. The teacher may decide to set a minimum word length.
The maths element can be made more difficult for more able classes ( eg '12 is the product of of which two numbers? ’ - Pupils could choose 4 and 3, 6 and 2, 12 and 1). Or it can be omitted entirely, and pupils simply select numbers to turn.
There are 8 games included in the PowerPoint. And some frantic music. Turn your computer sound down if it gets too much!

Many students are not aware of the difference that acute and grave accents make to pronunciation. This resource was created to help remedy that. It consists of a timed Hotpot activity where players have to identify long and short ‘e’. A link at the top of the page takes them to a website where rules of pronunciation are explained.
For beginners in the language, or anyone who is unsure of the rules of French pronunciation. A zip file contained three folders and one html file. Click on the html file to bring up a web page with links to sound files and Hot Potatoes games.
