Bundle of three resources. The first resource asks learners complete a table using past participles, work out why some are marked (être verbs), and identify the rule for forming them. The second resource asks learners to translate question words, and the third to un-scramble past participles of avoir and être. All useful grammar starters or consolidation activities at KS3 / KS4, either linked to topic of study or as a whistle-stop review to draw out any questions or uncertainties. Fully animated and all answers on slides.

Fantastic double-sided table of French classroom language. Huge time-saver and incredibly useful to encourage use of the target-language in lessons. Really helpful to introduce at the start of the year (or at any stage as a 'I think you're ready for this now...'). Can be printed as a big display poster, as A4 or A5 sheets and laminated as a reference point for students on classroom tables, or as an individual sheet to refer to. As well as classroom language, sheet also includes Days of the Week, Months of the Year, Numbers (overview of 1 - 1,000,000), Articles and Useful words (who, what, where, why etc. and connectives). Huge time saver! Useful with any age.

Excellent resource, introducing the near future tense through the 'aller' song, with a clear table to demonstrate formation. Text message conversation between Simon and Carly of The Inbetweeners engages students and asks them to answer a series of questions designed to test their understanding of the tense. HA stretched through identification and translations of colloquialisms such as 'ma biche'. Mini-whiteboard translation activity follows to gauge understanding, and a plenary with 12 sentences to translate is the last slide. This can be printed, cut up, and used in a box as a 'Pass-the-Parcel' style game, learners could throw die to determine the phrase that they translate to their partner, or in any number of different ways. LA supported through use of lesson worksheet (print table on first slide for learners to complete), HA through extension with colloquialisms and perfect tense. Excellent for introduction at KS3 and for revision / review at KS4.

2 slide PowerPoint includes clear and concise explanations of conjugation of each of the three modal verbs and questions differentiated into four boxes on Slide 2 to gauge understanding. Perfect for mini-whiteboard activities. Excellent for introduction at KS2 / KS3 to conjugation and for revision and further practice at KS4.

Differentiated number-challenge starter (one slide), presenting learners with three levels of puzzle increasing in difficulty. Students are given a number at the start of each puzzle and asked to work out a series of sums (all in French) to end up with the final answer. Puzzles very similar to daily 'Brain Trainer' challenge in The Times. All animations and answers on slide. Puzzles use double and triple-figure numbers, therefore most suitable for HA KS3 / KS4. Excellent numeracy and cross-curricular links between MFL and maths. A great time saver, took an hour make and format! Can be adapted and used over and over again with different ages. 'Challenge' option asks students to research the difference between 'chiffre', 'nombre' and 'numéro'.

Comprehensive resource, building from Places in town 1 (see other resources), asking students to recognise places in town and use them with the conjunction 'près de' + correct article. Learning objectives: 1. To be able to understand how to say ‘a’ and ‘the’ in French. 2. To be able to say what I live close to. Lesson includes: Starter activity, finding places linked to town in a grid (for example 'une boulangerie'); a dice speaking game to practice pronunciation and translation (offering a good basis for discussion on how to build sentences); whiteboard work practising the correct articles for masculine, feminine and plural nouns; a reading activity based on a Facebook profile to draw out the rule for 'près de' and a writing task.

Excellent cultural resource, working on Le Tour de France. Text outlines the competition, the history of the competition and the course that the cyclists follow. Support LA learners with vocabulary sheet if required and stretch HA learners with a ‘Challenge’ extension activity - a mini research project into the significance of the different jerseys. A French website is suggested as a first access point. A brilliant lesson that can branch off in to many different areas (researching winners, the different regions that the course crosses, anti-doping etc.) depending on level of group.

Great resource to encourage target-language understanding and use in the classroom. Fourteen commands with clip-art. Clear text. A great time-saver!

Excellent resource, based on the popular BBC show 'Only Connect'. Works well as a starter, plenary or as a game to review learning.

The first game focuses on infinitives and present tense conjugations, the second on infinitives and infinitive constructions, and the third on the perfect and imperfect tenses.

Great resource, providing a template in the shape of a jigsaw piece for students to introduce themselves. Jigsaw pieces can be decorated as teacher sees fit (with photographs or coloured in for example) and displayed, or simply used as a worksheet. Students asked to complete sentences to provide basic information about themselves including their name, age, nationality, birthday, family, favourite colour and sport. Template can be amended as teacher wishes. Makes a brilliant display for the start of term, simple and very personal to students. Helps them to get to know each other too!

Excellent first lesson of the year, comprehensively covering slide-by-slide all that you need your new class to know in an accessible and fun way. Helps you to get to know your students, their learning preferences and personalities, and helps them to get to know each-other too, setting them up for some great learning. Also gets you off to a brilliant start with your expectations through a whole-class ‘Partnership Agreement’ that they create and sign. I use this template every year with every class that I teach and it always works brilliantly. They have a lot of fun, as do you, and you also get all of the bits sorted that you need to without missing anything out (an overview of the year, books, seating plan etc.), which is easily done at the start of a busy term. Recommended especially for new teachers. Clear instructions on each slide and places for you to insert your own information. 15 slides in total: 1. Resources you need for the lesson. 2. Space to insert your seating plan. 3. Date, title, LO, starter slide. 4. Our Partnership Agreement slide. 5. Expectations / building on slide before. 6. ‘Mon cahier d’exercice’ slide. 7. Getting to know each other - The two truths game. 8. As above - teacher’s answers. 9. My promise to you (what you will do as a teacher to help their learning). 10. Raffle tickets and how they work, if you decide to use to reinforce positive behaviour. 11. Our lessons - overview of the number of lessons each week, report and Parents’ Evening dates and topics. 12. Help me to understand your learning activity. 13. Examples of feedback from activity above. 14. As before. 15. Lotto game!

Great as a starter or an activity. Suitable for HA KS2, KS3 and KS4. Links to GCSE module on Travel and Tourism. Also would be a great challenge for younger learners, extending their weather vocabulary. Would link very well across curriculum to geography (discussing weather for example in Haiti or Mauritius).

Numbers 1-100 in number line form with French words for each number written out. Excellent support resource. A huge time saver!

Also used successfully in small groups when teaching numbers to ask students to draw out patterns and links between 1-100 in French, and then to create their own numeracy worksheets for each other.
