Lesson Twenty-Five
Share learning intention with class.
Start with a quick revision of ‘j’aime/je n’aime pas’. You could play a
short game about what children like and dislike with regard to
food.
Watch the DVD – ‘Les passe-temps’ to introduce the new words for
leisure activities.
Show each flashcard one by one. Say the French words and
children repeat until they are confident with the new words.
Add in the phrase ‘J’aime’ e.g. ‘J’aime le football. J’aime la natation.
J’aime la voile’. Go round the class encouraging the children to say
what they like.
Choose some pastimes to say ‘Je n’aime pas…’ e.g. ‘Je n’aime pas
faire du cerf-volant. Je n’aime pas le roller’. Encourage children to
say what they don’t like.
Repeat with ‘je déteste’ and ‘j’adore’.
Play game with children in pairs: each pair has two piles of cards
(one pile with pastimes, one pile with j’aime/je n’aime, j’adore/je
déteste symbols). Children take it in turns to turn over one card
from each pile and say what they represent.
Bring class together and go round the group asking the question:
Qu’est-ce que tu aimes faire? (Tell them it means ‘What do you like
doing?’). Children answer by saying what they like doing e.g j’aime le
football.
So that children have chance to say what they don’t like doing, go
round asking ‘Tu aimes (e.g.) la voile?’ and expect the answer ‘oui,
j’aime’, ‘non, je n’aime pas’, ‘non, je deteste’, ‘oui, j’adore’.
Play the morpion (noughts and crosses) on the Powerpoint as
consolidation.
Lesson Twenty-Six



Remind pupils of learning intention from last lesson. Tell them they
will revise how to say if they like or dislike some activities in
French and that they will learn some ways of saying why they like
or dislike activities.
Revise last lesson’s learning by going over the plenary activity from
lesson 25. Also use PowerPoint 25 to have visual reminders if
needed.
With the aid of the PowerPoint 26 presentation introduce new
phrases with mimes.
Play the morpion (noughts and crosses) on the Powerpoint to
consolidate learning.
 Go round the class asking the children ‘Qu’est-ce que tu aimes
faire?’ and then ‘Pourquoi?’
 Children play game in groups of 4, finding matching pairs – words
with pictures. Give each group set of cards to lay out on table face
down. They turn two over at a time. If the pair doesn’t match then
turn them back, face down in the same position. If they find a pair
that match then they keep that pair.
 Consolidate with written activity/listening game in the same pairs.
Each child takes it in turns to choose a pair and read it out to the
others, who have to draw the phrase and write down the French
underneath.
Notes on activities and resources:
You might like to introduce the vocabulary for ‘sand yachting’ as it is
mentioned in the Earlystart DVD – ‘le char à voile’ ( le shar ah vwal).
Follow-up and consolidation
You might like to refer back to, and use, the French vocabulary that
they have learnt in these sessions when discussing what they have been
doing in the holidays / at weekends.
