We have resources for French, German, Spanish and Arabic, for learners in primary, KS3 and KS4! Some resources are for the new GCSE and there are even a couple of Year 6 transition lessons as well, which is super helpful at this time of year 🀩

I’m beyond excited to be able to share these amazing resources with you all πŸ˜ƒ

Throughout the last week, a fabulous group of MFL teachers has been working their socks off in my challenge β€œSell your first online resource in a week” and this is the result.

They can do this in English or the TL, depending on level.

Set a timer for 1-2 minutes and see how many words they can get in the time.

Have you ever played this? Do you play it with any variations? Let us know in the comments!

Choose one student to be in the β€œhot seat”.

They sit in front of the whiteboard.

Write a word (in the TL) that you’ve recently learnt on the whiteboard.

The rest of the class have to describe the word without saying any elements of the word (like β€˜Taboo’).

During my Linguascope webinar last week, I gave some ideas for quick, low-prep starter activities, including using this type of β€œconnections” game.
In the chat, I was asked if there is a website where you can make up your own connections board and voilΓ  here it is!
The website is connectionsplus.io

We used the names released by exam boards for the new GCSE and written boy/girl underneath to increase familiarity with the list of names. ( Again the idea is stolen from someone else but I can't remember who). It really works its magic ! They even say "bonjour / au revoir Alessandro "
