Numbers are everywhere! Today we're learning how to count from 1 to 10 in French. Knowing French numbers helps when playing games, telling time, and understanding addresses in France.
Imagine you're at a French market counting apples or playing football and the score is deux-un (2-1). Numbers help you join in the fun!
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Count confidently from un to dix
- Hear and recognise French numbers
- Use numbers in games and counting
Here are the French numbers from 1 to 10. Click each number to hear how it's pronounced, then count along with a finger in the air!
Notice how some sound similar to English (un like 'one', quatre like 'four') - these are called cognates and make learning easier.
Time for some wheel-spinning excitement! Spin the wheel to land on a number, then everyone shout it out in French together. How quickly can we count around the class?
Great spinning! Now test your memory by matching French numbers to their English meanings. Flip the cards quickly - can you beat your personal best time?
Your teacher will hand out word search worksheets. Find all 10 French numbers hidden in the grid - work with a partner to spot them faster!
