Pupils needing extra support: working with an adult, they can identify the correct portrait through the use of actions by the teacher (e.g pointing to hair for ‘cheveux’ or the colour black for ‘noirs’).

Pupils working at greater depth: challenge them to describe a picture independently, ensuring that they use the correct adjectival agreement, e.g les yeux bleus – blue eyes.

• Add eux to the class sound bank, or create one if you don’t already have one. See if the children can think of words from the last less and this lesson that have this letter string ( heureux, sérieux, les cheveux, les yeux). Challenge the children to spell these words on the board.
• Assemble a collection of wigs. Use props from school plays/dressing up, ask children to bring in any they might have or buy cheap ones, the crazier the better! (You can buy them online for as little as £1). Use the wigs for a team game – two small groups of children race each other. You say, for example, Il a les cheveux blonds and the first team to put a blonde wig on a boy in their team wins.
• The children can take photos of each other wearing the wigs and add captions to describe their hair. You could create a range of captions for them to select from and stick on. This could form a display.
