Describing a picture board game - New speaking exam and foundation writing

(0)
This is a board game that I made to encourage students at KS4 to use the present tense to describe a picture where in English we would use the present continuous. It is based on the 80s board game Home You Go. Students can work in pairs/fours to play the game. Each team will need a dice and six counters each. Students may need to have some understanding of the formation of the present tense first or be well drilled in key verbs. The game also contains other useful photo card language too. The activity lasts between 10 -15 minutes.

This bundle is a collection of worksheets that consolidate student learning mainly through matching up vocabulary and short translations. All of the worksheets can be used in class but are also fantastic for cover or for non specialists as the majority of the vocabulary that students need is inbuilt into the sheets.

Ordering drinks - board game

(0)
This board game is for KS3 and or GCSE. The game is best played by the teacher setting a time limit. Students travel round the board and have to complete various translation activities of either ordering drinks or saying the part of the waiter/waitress by landing on squares and collecting cards for a correct translation. It is a fantastic activity to help to build confidence and so that students can master key phrases and drinks vocabulary. It also contains some simple opinions too. I would advise that you print the waiter cards on one colour and the customer cards on another. At the end of the time limit students count up their cards and the student with the most is the winner. The vocabulary needed for this game includes phrases such as: Je voudrais Je vais prendre Mon ami voudrait C’est combien? C’est tout? A mon avis C’est vraiment

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE WHY STUDY LANGUAGES VIDEO HAS RECENTLY BEEN MADE PRIVATE BUT THERE ARE LOTS OF OTHER THINGS TO DO. THE FIRST VIDEO STILL WORKS AND IS ON THE NOTES PAGE OF THE SLIDE. I made this as a KS3 resource to show students that learning languages can certainly open doors in the future. Plan: Students mark on the progress line what they think of languages at the start of the lesson. Students listen to the celebrities talking about the languages that they speak and complete exercise A of the worksheet. Students read the statements and decide which ones are true. These are reviewed throughout the lesson and are finally marked at the end so that students can reflect on their learning throughout the lesson. The resources also include a version of the Game of Life. This is based on real life accounts of linguists. The links to the videos are in the footnotes of the powerpoint slides.
