Among the 70+ slides, there’s teaching about related sentences and grammar points, translation activities and interactive games, with an additional 40 slides, making over 110 in total, comprising a fun memory game. Enough for more than one lesson! There’s a set of printable flash cards too, with and without a background.

Many slides in the original PowerPoint feature answers that appear when you click. The PDF version does not retain this ability but will help you teach this topic if you don’t have PowerPoint. Two of the games are not compatible with PDF and are omitted from that version.

With almost 50 slides, it also includes pronunciation tips, an interactive Kim’s game and a slide for a splat game, where children can ‘splat’ the colour that’s been said in French by the teacher.

The Four in a Row game works well in either A3 or A4 and can be used with the colour word cards. Use different colour paper or card when printing the word cards so that opponents can play with a different colour set. Students put their cards in a pile, taking the top one and choosing strategically which space to place it on (as long the colour on the space matches the word on the card!). Or laminate the board and students mark on their initial with a dry-wipe marker if they correctly say the colour in French. First to get four in a row - vertically, horizontally or diagonally - is the winner. There are also 8 cards for games of bingo and/or noughts and crosses (tic tac toe) and a 20-card ‘I Have…Who Has?’ game / Loop game. This latter resource features some light and dark versions of the colours.
The worksheet is included with and without a word bank for support. Full answer keys for the worksheet and puzzles. The printables are all in PDF format.

MORE DETAILS:
Many slides in the original PowerPoint version feature answers that appear when you click, for students to respond. An additional PDF version is included. While the PDF version does not retain the ability for teachers to reveal answers by clicking, it will still help you introduce and review this topic if you do not have PowerPoint. Please note the interactive Reveal the Picture game is not compatible with PDF and is therefore omitted from that version. Also included is a PDF of flash cards. All sports covered in the presentation feature in 3 versions - the names of the sports in French (with and without backgrounds), and a further version features the sports in verb phrases (jouer / faire etc).
The presentation focuses on 18 key sport words (badminton, baseball, basketball, cricket, football, American football, golf, ice hockey, rugby, tennis, table tennis, running, horse riding, gymnastics, cycling, karate, swimming, skiing) and linked questions and answers, such as ‘What sports do you do?’, and phrases linked to likes and dislikes in terms of sport.
