Lesson plan

Lotto!

Play the Lotto - Bingo game as in the last lesson.

Hand out the whiteboards and pens. Ask the children to draw a 3x3 grid on their boards and choose a number between one and 12 for each square. Then, call out numbers in French for the children to cross out. Who first crosses out all their numbers shouts, Lotto! If they are able to say their numbers in French, they are the winner.
