Key Stage 3 French: Numbers 1-30

Key Stage 3 French: Numbers 1-30

(0)
This powerpoint teachers numbers from 1-30 in French. It also reinforces or introduces age and (for the gifted and talented) years in French, in addition to how to express one’s age and when one was born in French, but of course, this part is optional. If you don’t wish to introduce the numbers in the context of age, this is absolutely fine and you can just introduce them non-contextually, i.e. 'Répétez après moi - ‘un’, ‘un’, ‘deux’, ‘deux’, etc. After having introduced the numbers, try out the listening comprehension and it is differentiated into two different levels. For level 1 (lower level), the students choose the correct answer according to the number they hear. For level 2 (higher level), they have a choice of 30 answers to choose from and they can simply colour in the box according to what they hear. There are also follow up activities in this powerpoint such as picture pairs, French mathematics and a wordsearch. There is also a handout available with this resource that you cna print and distribute to the class. There are also four differentiated quizzes on kahoot based on French calculations which reinforces numbers 1-30 and they are defined as follows: Level 1 - Choose the correct answer and they have a minute to answer Level 2 - Choose the correct answer and they have 30 seconds to answer Level 3 - Choose the correct answer and they have only 10 seconds to answer Level 4 - Type the answer in words and they only have 20 seconds to answer The links to all of the quizzes are provided at the end of the powerpoint. When you have finished teaching the numbers and when you feel the students have sufficiently mastered them, get them to complete the reflection slip which is also attached to this resource, so they can reflect on how much they have mastered the numbers. It is titled as ‘Numbers 1-30 - Reflection’. Happy teaching and learning!

Here is a fabulous resource for introducing ‘etre’ verbs to your students. This resource contains a wealth of crossword puzzles exploring every single one of the 17 intransitive verbs. There is also a wordsearch where the students can search for the infinitives, before they become acquainted with the auxiliary verb and forming the verbs in the perfect tense. In addition, the students have pages and pages of colouring in to do and conjugating all 17 intransitive verbs will keep them occupied for quite a long time and very good practice! This activity can be set during class time or as homework. It is also great revision for Key Stage 4 learners as well! Happy teaching and learning!
