Lesson plan
1. Hand out a strip of paper to each child and ask them each to write five numbers on their strip. Each number needs to be a multiple of ten and between or including ten and 100.
2. Call out numbers in French (keep to numbers that are multiples of ten and between or including ten and 100).
3. When a child hears a number called out that they have written down, they cross their number off.
4. The first child to have crossed off all their numbers puts up their hand and calls out, 'Lotto !' To win, they have to read out all their numbers, in French, for them to be checked off.
