Minimal prep, maximum effect:
Listening bingo - use any tape extract. Tell students the topic then they think of 10 words to do with that topic and write them down. They then listen to the tape and every time they hear the words they tick them as a tally chart of the frequency of the words. Winner is the one with most ticks - a chewit sweet for the winner. Brill for predicting what will come up. You can also use this with pupils preparing mini speaking presentations. Pupils read them out (with/without support)and the others have chosen 5 words they think will come up and do the same tally idea.

Stand up Bingo. Get pupils to write down 3 words from the vocabulary that you have been teaching that lesson. They then stand up ready and sit down as soon as any one of the words on their list has been called out by you. The aim is to not have any of their words read out thereby being the last one standing. It's a great plenary.\

Statues : useful for verbs Teacher calls out an action Pupils must get into statue pose of that action and hold it without moving, giggling etc till next action is called or sit down

What's missing : read out a list of days of the week, animals, colours. Reread list omitting one

Put flashcards on floor. Send a pupil outside. Agree a flashcard with class. Invite pupil in. Class whisper in unison the word then get slowly louder till pupil picks up right card. Can time each pupil an quickest is winner.

Moving Dictation You dictate a text, they write a sentence and then pass their exercise book to another pupil who then continues to write the next sentence... After as many sentences as you want, show them the text on OHP, IWB, using Data Projector or direct them to the page in their textbooks. They then have to correct the mistakes. Great for German - capitals for nouns. They are also more willing to mark other people's work.

Headlines Have pictures on the board (from internet on IWB or projector) and they have to write a headline for it. Write the names of the people involved in recent news and the headlines in TL next to it but muddled up - they have to match them.

blockbusters - create a grid with lots of hexagons. Copy to OHT. Write numbers on with an OHT pen. Then use as and when necessary to reinforce vocab/fill time etc. The students choose a number and you give them a question based on the topic you have done. First across the board (or down) is the winner.

Pass the parcel Pass a ball/object around the class to music when the music stops ask who is holding the object a question.

Famous person Ask the students for the name of a celebrity. Write it on the board. See who can find a word in the TL for each letter - no resources allowed

Word combs They write their names down then find an adjective for each letter of their name.

starters: 1. GIMME 5 - say "donnez-moi 5 animaux/5 verbes irréguliers au passé composé/ 5 opinions négatives/5 alternatifs pour 'très' etc. etc. Works with any year group. 2. Write a word on the board from a recent topic eg croissant. pupils suggest a sentence containing the word, for which you award a score out of 10 for their impressiveness. Vary generosity of your mark scheme dep on ability of group.  3. "clear the board" - write up 20 or so words or phrases randomly all over your board. Set the clock. They then put up their hand, saying one of the words/phrases and its translation. If correct you rub it out. Penalty of 10 seconds if anyone calls out. They try to beat their own previous class record each time you play.  4. PASSEZ LA BOMBE - buy a kitchen timer. Get a small box (empty Neutradol packaging box is ideal)and paint it black and write "ATTENTION-BOMBE!!! on it. Put the timer in the box. When you play, set the timer for between 1-2 mins, put into box and say a question you've covered recently which can have many different answers. ive bomb to first pupil, who can pass it on when they've said an answer. Whoever is holding the bomb when it goes off has to do a forfeit, like saying 20-1 backwards in French.

Writing 1.Write a sentence on the board such as (Yr 7) "Dans ma trousse j'ai un stylo et une gomme." Underline un stylo and une gomme. They have 2 mins to write as many sentences as they can, substituting different items. individuals read their suggestions. Anyone with same sentence crosses it out. People left with sentences no one else has win a sweet.

Very simple - at the end of the lesson, get two kids up the front, you say the English, the first kid to say the foreign word wins and the loser sits down, to be replaced by another kid. The person left standing when the bell goes is officially king or queen of the class. Sometimes I let to joke run on and call kids 'prince' and 'princess' as well, I did like it the other day when they called me 'Goddess'!

Best game ever! Can be applied to all topics and levels! BEAT THE TEACHER! Example with numbers.

Write down numbers on the board (I use flashcards a lot for this game) Point at a number and say what it is. Kids repeat. Then you try to trick them and you say something that is not correct. Kids have to stay completely quiet. If they were quiet: one point for them. If you managed to trick them ie they repeated robotically what you said without thinking: point for you. We go to ten but I refuse to carry on if I have five and they have not had even a point (this is to stop any of the little trouble makers to repeat the number and hijack the game! Only happened once)

my fave plenary is the hot seat, pick a pupil they take the seat and students can ask them 5 questions related to the lesson. we usually do this in the TL. great because it's all about them!

for speaking practice with year 10 and 11, play your own version of that yes/no game. pupils have to answer questions about a certain topic for 30-60 seconds without giving yes or no as an answer. (based on game show but can't remember the name)works very well for getting them to manipulate the verb and turn questions around.

kind of similar idea they have to present about certain without using key basic words e.g. shopping but no mention of the supermarket or shopping centre, it gets them broadening their vocab and gives them the chance to be really creative with language.

verbal pictionary: students describe item in TL and a volunteer had to draw representation on board.

to consolidate gender with yr 7 I like the line game (need big room or moveable furniture for this) get students in big line (I do girls then boys and playoff after) explain one direction is masc. objects one is fem objects. then call out vocab e.g. estuche= masc so jump left etc. lose when go wrong way and then have eventual champion.
