Each poster is very informative as it contains the place in the town in French with the name in English using both the definite and indefinite article as appropriate, alongside the preposition ‘à’ with its meaning in English. You don’t need to necessarily put up all 105 posters, but the classroom would look absolutely bright, engaging and colourful if you did! You can of course be very selective and put up the most common ones but it is of course up to you!! Also included in this resource, are 20 different things that can be found in the town, such as the bus stop, telephone box, level crossing, etc. Feel free to put those up as well!

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!
