Follow and celebrate the Tour de France 2014 as it travels from Yorkshire through England and across to France
and around ,up and down and through the country!
This afternoon we having been discussing the tour de France!
Here are a sequence of lessons that I have helped to create based on the
resources you can find here tour de France links and resources
Below are some ideas for us firstly to use in all target
languages:
 |
| A virtual tour of the Tour de France ! |
A virtual tour from Yorkshire to the finishing line in Paris
Let’s create our own virtual 3D tour and add our own 2D and 3D
famous buildings from cities on the way to
the finishing line . Create a 3D tour Eiffel for the finishing line!
Here's a video clip to help us achieve this
a 3D tour Eiffel
to complete your
own virtual 3D class tour

Physical Grammar Game !
The class need to decide on three symbols to represent
nouns, adjectives and verbs. Stand up right for a noun, wiggle your body for an
adjective and pump your arms for a verb ( just like you would have symbols in
Charades for book, film, musical etc.
Divide your class into “Tour de France t-shirt teams-
different coloured t-shirts . No team should be le maillot jaune/la camiseta
amarilla or das gelbe Tshirt. This one is for the winners!
Let’s brainstorm nouns, adjectives and verbs that we
associate with the tour de France. Can access these in the target language in
bilingual dictionaries .
Here are some to start us off ……….
A volunteer from a team selects a word from a cycle bag
and decides if it’s a noun, an adjective or a verb. They must mime this – one
point for getting this correct and then they must mime the meaning of the word-
one more point for the team if they can guess and say it in the target language.
If you play this UKS2 Year 6 or with KS3 with there are two bonus points with
UKS2 if they can put the noun or the adjective in to a simple sentence and can
any of them create a first person singular present tense statement with a verb (e.g.
I push , I pedal, I race etc )? Verbs would b e at the teacher’s discretion –
depending on whether they are regular verbs or not in the first instance.
You will need dice ,different coloured counters for the players and the board,which you can download here Simple tour de France and sports vocabulary game
It doesn't just need to be abut sports though ....read on!
Divide your class in to teams of four .How many times around
the board can the children race before the end of a designated amount of time –
on a countdown timer ? If they land on an odd number they have to pick up a
picture card and say the word they see in the target language. If they land on
an even number they have to ask a question of another person in the game. They cannot
repeat the question that was said by the last player to land on an even number.
The winner of the race will own the yellow jersey and will have been around the
board the most times or got the farthest around the board before the end of the
timed race!
Can the class design their own Tour de France jerseys –
either on real plain white t-shirts or as card cut outs for a class mobile or
display? Each of these t-shirts should have written on them the characteristics
of a true sportsman in the target language – either as single words or as
simple present tense sentences using the verb “to be”
Superlative t-shirts
Take a look at how to form the superlative in the target language
. a good activity again for Year 6 or KS3 .In your class which characteristics
make the best members of the class …. The most organised, the most creative,
the tidiest , the most helpful, the kindest. Now can your class help you to
design reward t-shirts for the duration of the Tour de France?these can be awarded for the “superlative” people in your class during the Tour de France! Display
the t-shirts with their superlative labels for all to see and add the faces of
the children who win these t-shirts one by one.
Why not create your own Power Poem Performances using
posters as stimulus for draft writing of poems which can be short such as a haiku
made up of adjectives or verse by verse present tense sentences using a noun
verb and adjective to describe elements of the Tour de France. The children perform the poems and bring the posters to
life!
Here's the link to the blog post with the poster power poem lesson guide and below is a poster that inspired me!
And finally for French language learners ….
Food Fest
Let’s go on a Tour de France food fest and take in the
regional foods. Let’s have a food-tasting journey and keep an E- journal of the
foods we try – photos, sound file comments and short videos of foods we try or
foods we find on line. Take a look at this article of 40 Tour de France regional recipes
Mon vélo est blanc
Let’s learn and perform this simple poem for a school
assembly. Why not adapt the poem and change the colours.
Or take a break and watch with KS2 children le petit Nicolas le vélo
