Embedding the language

All this language is designed to be used as part of everyday classroom practice. You could do the register with oui and non on some days (on fait l’appel for the register is in the Greetings PPT). For this topic, embedding the language would be the focus as opposed to the language being taught as such. There are example activities however to help teachers reinforce the language being used.

Sample activities You will find a bank of sample activities which you can use to practise the vocabulary in the classroom.

This is not a prescriptive list of activities and you can use or adapt them to suit the needs of your class.

S’il vous plaît ou non merci?

Pupils look at the following slides and decide if they would like it or not by saying either S’il vous plaît or non merci!

You could make this more active by having 2 sides of the room with each designated as the S’il vous plaît side and the other as the Non merci! side. Ask pupils to then choose a side which matches their opinion and say their opinion (S’il vous plaît or non merci) as a group.

You could follow this up with asking them to choose pictures from cut outs or create their own drawings under the headings S’il vous plaît and non merci!

Mot de la semaineMot du mois

1. Mot de la semaine means word of the week. Mot du mois means word of the month.

2. As a way of building up classroom vocabulary gently, you could have a word of the week/month which everyone will use in class (or out of class too if they like!)

3. Once you move onto your next word, keep the previous words going! This way the pupils will build up their language gradually!

The Big Bonjour Challenge!

1. Set pupils the challenge of saying Bonjour, merci, s’il vous plaît and de rien (or whichever vocab you like) to everyone they speak to.

2. You could get them to tally mark how many they do in a week and have an inter-class competition.

Jacques a dit

Jacques a dit is French for Simon says. It works exactly the same way whereby if you say Jacques a dit (Jack said) at the start of a command then everyone has to do it. If you just say the command then pupils should stand still. If they do the action, they then sit down. Sample commands are below: Jacques a dit écoutez! (pupils can cup hand to ear)Jacques a dit regardez! (mime searching) Jacques a dit mettez-vous en ligne! (pupils get into a line) Ecoutez! Regardez!Mettez-vous en ligne! Asseyez-vous Levez-vous

Songs and videos!

You will find a bank of sample songs and videos which you can use to practise the vocabulary in the classroom.

This is not a prescriptive list of songs and you can use or adapt them to suit the needs of your class.

They can also help spot who has moved! 4.Lastly, if you want to, you can add in some French challenges e.g. count to ten when they are frozen, say the alphabet, say as many colours as they can etc.
