Embedding the languageYou 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. Using numbers and counting as a way of settling a class, putting a time limit on tidying etc. 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.

You will find a set of more supported activities in Early Feelings and more challenging activities in Level 2 Feelings.

(Finger) puppets for countingUsing a German puppet and asking pupils to teach him how to count in English and then the puppet can teach them how to count in German, helps pupils to differentiate between the two and can help enhance their developing numeracy skills in English.

Compter, Compter!

1. All pupils sit in a circle with 10 toys in the centre. 2. They then close their eyes and say the numbers from 1 – 10.3. Whilst they are counting, another pupil (or the teacher)

removes a number of toys from the middle. 4. When they get to 10 they open their eyes and have to say

how many toys are in the centre (by asking “Wie viele?”)5. You could let whoever guessed it right take them away/hide

them afterwards.
