Beginner alphabet fun. Two resources: (1) a list of games to practise the alphabet (2) an alphabet grid game in which you read out letter coordinates on a grid while pupils shade in boxes to create a picture. (Thanks to a teacher on the GILT Facebook group for that idea.)

Two Kim's Game PowerPoints. This is the classic game where you show some items then hide one or more at a time for the class to recall the missing item. These ones features fruit and veg and a hungry rabbit, and places around town. Beginners love this sort of memory game and it's a good vocab builder. Each presentation builds up in difficulty.

Parallel reading text. Why can't kangaroos walk? A short text translated from French to English with a comprehension task and vocab grid to complete. You could come up with other ways to exploit this too.

Intermediate (GCSE) video listening. Une balade à Porquerolles. Linked to a France Bienvenue video. Gap-fill with options plus "find the French" translation. Don't for get that there are numerous listening tasks on the Y10-11 page: teacher-read, audio and video, including some quite easy activities.

Advanced audio listening. This is a conversation between two students, Tina and Laetitia, talking about their favourite films (from YouTube/Francebienvenue). Gap-fill to do, plus "find the French" and an opportunity to reuse some of the language in dialogue. Includes information about the film Intouchables. You could use this in Y12 or Y13. Edit to create more gaps if you need to.

Video listening for GCSE (intermediate). This is a 1jour1question video about la francophonie in the world. The main task is to spot inconsistencies between the language of the video and a set of 15 sentences. Good general background on why French is such an influential world language.

Guided translation into French for beginners. "Moi". Very easy passage in English with a gapped French version to complete.

Video listening via 1jour1question. This one is about the baccalauréat. Gap-fill transcription and translation to do. I had forgotten that there is already another video listening task on the bac, but this one is quite different and you could do both.

Two new PowerPoints for near-beginners. Countries in Europe and languages spoken in Europe.

Beginner PowerPoint on Je veux and Je ne veux pas + infinitive. Includes memory game, pair work, translation and a look at the verb vouloir.
