A book to make about 40 spiders in the haunted castle of Monsieur Patatras. Simple dialogue. Ideal for reinforcing: il y a, rooms in a house together with prepositions and of course counting to 40. Story ends with a question which will promote lots of opportunity for conversation. I have included intructions of how to make the mini book. You will need to make 2 books to accomodate all the pages. I used black paper to make my books. I'm sure the students will love this story for Halloween.

Cards need to be printed out twice. I have included 27 verbs. The memory game can be played in several ways. To begin with place cards spread out face down on a table. Pupils turn over 2 at a time. They have to say the infinitive of the verb showing on the card. When they find two that match, they win them. Next when a card is turned over, pupils have to say the je, tu, il, elle form of the verb. This could then be extended to include nous, vous and ils and elles. A further game could be that pupils have to use the verb in a full sentence.

An introduction to the names of colours in French.

Pictures of buildings and places you might find in any town. Once children have been introduced to the key vocab they will enjoy playing this game. Pupils have to turn over two matching cards and name whatever is showing on the cards to win them. This activity could be extended further whereby pupils have to say the phrase 'Dans ma ville il y a .....' or if the town doesn&'t have whatever is on the card they have to say &';Dans ma ville il n'y a pas ....&'. If you print off more of these cards, the game could double up for the game of snap. Enjoy and have fun!!
