22. Embedding the language All this language is designed to be used as part of everyday classroom practice. You could do the register with oui and non on some days (on fait l’appel for the register is in the Greetings PPT). For this topic, embedding the language would be the focus as opposed to the language being taught as such. There are example activities however to help teachers reinforce the language being used.

23. Sample activities You will find a bank of sample activities which you can use to practise the vocabulary in the classroom. This is not a prescriptive list of activities and you can use or adapt them to suit the needs of your class.

24. Si grazie or no grazie? Pupils look at the following slides and decide if they would like it or not by saying either Si grazie or no grazie! You could make this more active by having 2 sides of the room with each designated as the Si grazie side and the other as the No grazie! side. Ask pupils to then choose a side which matches their opinion and say their opinion (Si grazie or no grazie) as a group. You could follow this up with asking them to choose pictures from cut outs or create their own drawings under the headings Si grazie and no grazie!

25. Si grazie o no grazie? Guardate Le foto e Decidete se Si grazie ! o No grazie!

26. Si grazie o no grazie?

41. Parola della settimana parola del mese 1.Parola della settimana means word of the week. Parola del mese means word of the month. 2.As a way of building up classroom vocabulary gently, you could have a word of the week/month which everyone will use in class (or out of class too if they like!) 3.Once you move onto your next word, keep the previous words going! This way the pupils will build up their language gradually!

42. The Big Buongiorno Challenge! 1.Set pupils the challenge of saying Buongiorno, grazie, si grazie and prego (or whichever vocab you like) to everyone they speak to. 2.You could get them to tally mark how many they do in a week and have an inter-class competition.

43. Simone dice Simone dice is Italiana for Simon says. It works exactly the same way whereby if you say Simone dice (Jack said) at the start of a command then everyone has to do it. If you just say the command then pupils should stand still. If they do the action, they then sit down. Sample commands are below: Simone dice ascolatate! (pupils can cup hand to ear) Simone dice guardate! (mime searching) Simone dice mettetetevi in fila! (pupils get into a line) Ascoltate! Guardate! Mettetetevi in fila! In piedi Seduti
