Lesson plan
Ask the children to work in their table groups to recall the numbers in French from 1-20. Once they have had a chance to recall the numbers, invite each group to start counting in sets of five, so group 1 counts 1-5 and group 2 counts 6-10. When you get to 20, start again with 1-5.
When each group has had at least one go at counting aloud, try one of the following:
Go round the class and each individual in turn calls out the next number.
Call out random numbers in English and invite children to give the French number.
Ask the class to count 1-20 and then 20-1.
