Embedding the language You can use numbers to count things throughout your lessons. Combien challenge! Every time the teacher calls, “combien?” the pupils have to count whatever they have in front of them and then say it in French. Once you have learnt the days of the week and the months, you can use the numbers for dates at the start of every day. I have explored numbers, understanding that they represent quantities, and I can use them to count, create sequences and describe order. MNU 0-02a

Sample activities You will find a bank of sample activities which you can use to practice 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.

Activité 2 Cache, cache, compte, compte!

Cache, cache, compte, compte! Cache cache compte compte means hide hide count count in French. The teacher has an object which will then be hidden somewhere in the class. A teddy for example. One pupil leaves the class and another pupil hides the object somewhere in the room. The pupil who was outside now comes back in and must find the hidden object whilst the rest of the class count in French, getting louder as they get nearer to the object and quieter as they get further away (like hot and cold). You can get them to count to whichever number you are working up to (e.g. 20) and then repeat it twice to give them enough time to look. Compter, Compter means count count

Cache cache, compte, compte Une personne sort de la classe Une personne cache le jouet One person leaves the class. One person hides the toy (or whatever object)

Cache cache, compte, compte La personne rentre dans la classe… et cherche le jouet! The person comes back into the class and looks for the toy!

si la personne est proche de jouet. si la personne est loin de jouet. On compte FORT On compte doucement We count loudly if the person is near the toy. We count quietly if the person is far from the toy. si la personne est proche de jouet. si la personne est loin de jouet.

Activité 3 Round class counting!

Round class counting Give everyone in the class a number from 1 – 31 (or however high you are counting to at the time). You can double up numbers if this doesn’t work out with the number of pupils in the class. Ask them to each write their number (as a number) on a sheet of paper in front of them. Now go round the class with each pupil standing and shouting out their individual number as you count up. Once they get become more confident, you can time them doing this around the class and see if they can beat their own time. Shuffle pupils around so that they are in a different seat but with the same numbers and repeat the activity. Shuffle pupils again so that they get a new number. This activity could be done in a circle to make it easier to organise.

Activité 4 Action numbers!

Action numbers With the class, choose an action to go with each of the numbers to help teach them. You might want them to do this in pairs , share with groups and then choose the best ones which will make up the class actions. e.g. un = hitting a tennis ball deux = a punch trois = a guitar strum quatre = a cat gesture You can then follow this up by doing the action and getting them to say the numbers.

Activité 5 Onze!

Onze! Pupils stand in a circle They will then count to 11 with each person saying either 1, 2 or 3 numbers e.g. Sophie 1, 2 – Tom – 3,4,5 – Danny – 6, 7 etc. Whoever lands on the number 11 is then out and sits down. The winner is the last person standing.

Onze! La personne qui dit, “11” est éliminée! Formez un cercle au centre de la classe Comptez un, deux ou trois nombres Par exemple… Personne a: 1, 2 Personne b: 3,4,5 Personne c: 6 Form a circle in the centre of the class. Count 1, 2 or 3 numbers. For example. Person A: 1,2. Person b: 3,4,5 and Person C: 6. The person who says the number 11 is out and should sit down. The last person standing wins! La dernière personne gagne!

Activité 7 Il y en a combien?

Teachers’ note. Il y a means there is/there are. Il y a en means – there is/are (X) of them. If you wanted to do this activity using just il y a then it would still be correct e.g. Il y a combien? How many? Il y a six – there are six It has been written as il y en a in order to give you the most correct form but can be simplified as above if required.

Il y a Il y a means there is or there are. E.g. Il y a un train = there is a train Il y a deux personnes = there are 2 people Il y a un hôtel – there is a hotel Il y a un restaurant = there is a restaurant

Let’s practise that, can you translate the phrases below? Il y a un bus. There is a bus. Il y a un train. There is a train. Il y a deux trains. There are two trains. Il y a cinq hamsters. There are five hamsters.

Bravo tout le monde!

Il y en a e.g. Il y en a cinq – there are 5 of them If you want to say there are 4 of them, like in this next activity, you can use the phrase: Il y en a (2) This means there are (2) of them. e.g. Il y en a cinq – there are 5 of them Il y en a (deux) = there are 2 of them

Let’s practise that, can you translate the phrases below? Il y en a deux There are two of them Il y en a un. There is one of them. Il y en a trois. There are three of them. Il y en a cinq. There are five of them.

Chapeau! Chapeau means hats off – well done!

Il y en a combien? Teacher shows the following pictures and pupils have to count them up and say how many there are. Each time teacher asks the class – Il en y a combien? (how many of them are there?). As you move through the images, get the class to join in with the question. Following on from this you can do a paired/group activity with different objects on each table. Pupils ask their partners/groups to fermez les yeux (close your eyes) and they take away or add objects to those in the centre. They then ask their partner/group to ouvrez les yeux (open your eyes) and ask the question, il y en a combien? They then answer il y en a ___ and how ever many there are.
