Bonjour ! Je m’appelle Lisa Simpson.

Ideas for using this PowerPoint: 1. For practising the members of the family, it uses people that pupils will know about. Practise the vocabulary as mon/ma + family word, and then you will be able to build sentences up like “mon père s’appelle Homer”. Later pupils will be able to tell you a sentence about their own family. 2. Giving each pupil the 4 Simpsons pictures (no writing), say the French words and they have to hold up the right picture. E.g. you say “mon père” and they hold up a picture of Homer. They can do this in pairs, race against the clock, one pupil at each table say the words for the others at the table…. 3. Give pupils have a blank sheet of paper / mini-whiteboard to quickly draw members of their family and then say a short presentation to introduce the members of their family. They can start off saying it to their partner and then to the whole class if they’re brave enough.
