Unit 3 - French Playground Games, Numbers and Age

In this unit of French, we will be counting in French from 0-12 and starting to recognise the written form of number words. We will learn how to ask how old someone is and answer the same question. We will start to look at French sentence structure and consider how it is different to English. We will practice all of our new vocabulary by learning songs and playing some traditional playground games.

In this unit, we learned another traditional French song called Un, deux, trois nous irons au bois. This song includes all of the French number vocabulary that we have now learned - 0-12.
