This French video introduces teachers to a lesson on imperative commands, helping pupils learn and practise nine common classroom instructions through speaking, listening, and active participation. The lesson explores the -ez verb ending for formal and plural forms, encourages recognition of sound patterns such as ou, and models strategies for introducing new vocabulary with actions and visual prompts. Pupils practise responding to and giving instructions in French, developing both comprehension and pronunciation skills.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s French – vocabulary. It includes practical ideas such as matching symbols to words, memory games, and the French version of Simon Says (Jacques a dit), creating a fun, interactive way for pupils to reinforce language learning. The activities also encourage peer teaching, helping children take their French beyond the classroom and use it confidently in real-life contexts.
