This French scheme of work video introduces teachers to the skills needed to help Key stage 2 pupils learn the names of shops commonly found in French towns. It explores strategies to make vocabulary learning engaging, such as the game hotter-colder, where pupils practise new words while searching for hidden objects. The video demonstrates each step, from introducing shop vocabulary to practising pronunciation and memory through interactive games.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Language teacher video resources. It simplifies the process, ensuring teachers feel confident and prepared to support the pupils in learning new vocabulary in fun and memorable ways. With creative activities like making 3D shop displays (les magasins) for role play and classroom displays, the lesson makes language learning active and imaginative while reinforcing key vocabulary.
