PMFL weekly email – Twist and speak

Bonjour! Hola! ¡Buenos días!
Well done, we have all made it to half term! One more term to go, how the time has flown this summer!

The following idea is a good plan for Y5 and Y6 learners and provides a fun and active activity which can be done in the classroom or outside using large sheets of paper.

Children stand in pairs back to back, one partner facing the teacher/board or if outside the large sheet of paper with the phrase in Spanish/French and its English translation. The child facing says the sentence out aloud and the other partner has to say it in English. Alternatively this game can be played outside more independently in groups of 3 whereby one child reveals the sentence, one child says it in the TL and the child turned away translates then they all swap places.

Gracias! Merci!
Sam and Kay
