Lesson plan
Organise the children to stand in a circle and then hand a ball to a pupil to start the game. This child will say un - one, then pass the ball to the next child, who will say deux - two, and so on until the children reach trente-et-un - thirty-one.
Repeat several times, using a timer to see how fast the children can pass the ball round and say the numbers.
Can they beat the score each time?
