Show a lively image of a French sports event to capture interest. Briefly review the verbs “aimer” and “préférer” that students already know. Explain that by the end of the lesson they will be able to talk about their free‑time activities using new vocabulary and the correct verb structures.

1. Do‑now (5') – Students list three hobbies they enjoy in English, then share and attempt a French translation using the vocabulary list.
2. Vocabulary introduction (10') – Teacher presents key leisure‑time words with images; students repeat, match definitions, and note gender/plural forms.
3. Grammar focus (15') – Mini‑lecture on “faire vs jouer”, “aller + infinitif”, and “aimer + infinitif”; guided practice with the provided table.
4. Listening activity (10') – Play the audio clip; students answer comprehension questions about the activities mentioned.
5. Pair dialogue practice (15') – Using the sample dialogue, pairs role‑play weekend plans, inserting at least three verbs and two preference expressions; teacher circulates for feedback.
6. Writing task (10') – Students write a 80‑100‑word paragraph describing their favourite leisure activities, meeting the verb/expression criteria; peer‑check for accuracy.
7. Consolidation & exit ticket (5') – Quick written check: one sentence with “faire + sport” and one with “aller + infinitif”. Collect as exit tickets.

Recap that students can now describe leisure activities and plan future ones in French, using the correct verbs and expressions. Collect exit tickets to gauge understanding. For homework, complete a matching worksheet of activities to pictures and write another short paragraph outlining a weekend plan.
