The interactive PowerPoint starts by recapping the months of the year in mixed order. Students can race to guess the month first from the picture clues before the word appears for a fun starter or quiz activity.

The slides progress from learning the months of the year in French to practising recognising and saying dates. This is reinforced with a true or false activity and supported with a learning aid on the final slide.
