This French scheme of work video introduces teachers to the skills needed to help Key stage 2 pupils learn numbers to twelve through song, rhyme and play. It explores how to use a traditional French nursery rhyme as a hook for recognising numbers and rhyming sounds, before moving into games that build confidence and recall. The video demonstrates each step, from practising the song line by line to using collaborative finger games and lotto as quick and effective number activities.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Language teacher video resources. It simplifies the process, ensuring teachers feel confident and prepared to support the pupils in developing number knowledge in fun and memorable ways. With opportunities for singing, partner work and class games, the lesson makes counting engaging and active, laying secure foundations for future vocabulary and playground activities later in the topic.
