Millonario template
This is an updated template for millonario in Spanish. I've made it a little more generic and it can be edited fairly easily. Slide 1 has full instructions for teachers and if anyone fancies making a French version, please send me a link.

Vocabulagaga
Help Lady Gaga and Alejandro by revising your Spanish vocabulary. This is a vocab practice presentation which works by not allowing the students to go forward unless they pick the correct option - contains a silly animation at the start so will need to be in slide-show view. It's inspired by the Lady Gaga song Alejandro and includes lots of different topics for KS3 students - sounds a BGT buzzer when they get it wrong.
