Interactive worksheets to teach French numbers
By Tayyiba Bruce, a Teachable MFL editor
Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf … literally Four-twenty-ten-nine! And that’s why your students need plenty of practice of French numbers. Motivating self-marking worksheets take away the need for dull repetition drills and have the added benefit of boosting your students confidence through their auto-correct function. I have developed worksheet on counting in French – this is a guide to how to fit this resource into one of your lessons:
1. Begin the lesson with a short game like word tennis to warm up. Split the class into four teams. Each team starts with a score of 3. See if the pupils can count up to twenty, in twos as high as they can go, in tens etc until a wrong answer is given, in which case they lose a point. When a team has zero points they are out!
2. Use the whiteboard to show use of numbers in different contexts – elicit from pupils French currency, weights, how to write the date.
3. Consolidate with excel sheet on numbers. Pair them up on a computer and see who can finish first with all answers correct. Look out for answers that change to bold blue font as they are correct, if the answer stays red/brown it is wrong.
There is a wider selection of French worksheets on the main Teachable site.
