Template for Blockbusters pairwork. Students could either write in clues for their partner in each hexagon, or you could add your own. The aim is to get from one side of the board to the other by answering questions/clues. The other person must also try and block their opponent.

Use this template to create your own Catchphrase-style game. Instructions are in the PPT notes section.

Very simply, a template for pupils to use to write about a week. They write the text in the lower box and draw a picture in the bigger box.

It's exactly that! A dominoes template for you to add vocab/images and then cut out for pupils to use.

A template for the gameshow 'Pointless', not a pointless template...

Add your own words or images to this Kim's Game template.

This is an easy PPT template for you to adapt as you like. Change the side and top title bars, depending on the topic you’re doing. Click on the blue boxes to make them disappear to reveal (or not!) an explosion underneath. For variation, simply move the explosions to different squares.

Simply a template for a Diamond Nine activity!

This can be used in many different ways. For example, students play in teams. They choose a number in turns. Teacher reads out a word related to the topic and pupils have to translate it or maybe give a sentence with that word in it. If they are correct, reveal that number. They receive a point if there is ‘treasure’ under the number. There are 5 different templates here, as students may remember where the treasure is hidden! There are 5 different slides, so pupils can't learn where the treasure is!

Class dominoes is a great activity to keep the kids on their toes! Instructions are on the document. Simply enter the vocab you want the pupils to practise where indicated.

Pupils work in pairs. They test each other on a set list of vocabulary, shuffled up (maybe on cards). One pupil throws a dice and moves that many spaces. Whichever number they land on, their partner asks that question. Works in the same way as ‘Snakes & Ladders’!

Enter your own questions into the spinner and press 'S' in presentation mode to stop on a random question.

Different shapes for card sorts (triangle, etc.) Fill in the vocab so that the English matches the target language when laid in a triangle like this. There is an example of this in the PPT.

My students stick this into the front cover of their exercise books and use it to record summative assessment results each half-term, giving them an overview of their progress over the year. It’s in the shape of an arrow and, at the end of the arrow, they write their target grade/level. When they record their assessment results, they also have to write a few words to say what they will do to try to improve their result for the next assessment.

Dice activities are fabulous! Use this template to add your own vocab/images for your activities, or allow students to add their own. Full instructions are in the notes section of the PPT.

Give a paper copy of the first slide to each pair of students. They must fill in each rectangle with a word from a certain topic/listening/reading text, etc. Each of the pair has a different coloured pen and takes it in turns to fill in a word. The other pair must check they understand the word before they can fill it in. When this is complete, choose one of the grids on the following slides to show… Reveal each score one at a time by simply clicking – they will reveal one by one in order. Pupils check their total score for the corresponding words. They have the score shown only if they wrote a word in the corresponding box. The player with the highest total for their words is the winner!

Instructions on how to edit this PPT are on the first slide. There are 3 slides, each with curtains set to open to reveal any set of words or images you choose. The curtains then are timed to automatically close after 10, 20 and 30 seconds. Great for working on memory in particular.

Quite simply, a template for WWTBAM!

The whole-class version of Connect 4. Pupils work in two teams (red and blue) and their objective is to get 4 (or 3, if you prefer) of their coloured rectangles in a row. This can be vertically, horizontally or diagonally. In presentation mode, click on the relevant coloured circle to change the colour of the rectangle.

Pupils work in pairs to get 4 in a row by giving one aspect from the y axis and one from the x axis. They must also try to block the other pupil. For example, if you’ve used personal pronouns and infinitives, they have to give ‘je regarde’ to get the corresponding square. Class version also available.
