PowerPoint 3How Old Are You?

Teacher Notes

Introduce the question Quel âge as-tu? (How

old are you?) Click on the arrow or words to

listen to this. Ask children to suggest the

meaning of the question then ask them to

say how old the character pictured is to elicit

the reply cinq.

1

Teacher Notes

Click on cinq to hear this then click on the

character to hear him say J’ai cinq ans (I’m

five years old). Ask children to work out what

this means.

2

Teacher Notes

Ask the question to the class and they

chorus the reply J’ai cinq ans. Repeat this

with the other characters over the next set of

slides.

3

Teacher Notes

Put children into groups of six. Give the first

child in a group a card with the question

Quel âge as-tu? on. They have to respond

with J’ai cinq ans (or some children may

respond by giving the number only) and then

they pass the card on to the next child who

responds with J’ai six ans and so on.

4

Teacher Notes

Now ask children to practise a question-and-

answer dialogue in pairs. After they have

practised, ask if any pair would like to

perform their dialogue for the class. Remind

the class that they can use Et toi? to ask a

question back to someone. Write this on the

board.

5

Teacher Notes

Children will now practise how to say other

people’s ages. Click on the character to hear

him say his age then ask about him Quel

âge a Pascal? See if the class can work out

what

this means. Click on the speech bubble to

listen to this.

6

Teacher Notes

Click on A and B to listen to the two possible

answers Il a cinq ans (He is five years old)

and Il a sept ans (He is seven years old).

Ask children to work out what these mean

and then ask them which is the correct

answer. Click the mouse button to see.

7

Teacher Notes

Say to the class that you are now talking

about a female character so you would say

Elle a . . . ans (She is . . . years old). Repeat

the same process as with the previous slide

then do the same for the next set of slides.

8

Teacher Notes

Ask individual children Quel âge as-tu? and

after they have given an answer, ask other

children about that child Quel âge a … ? and

see if they can work out an answer using this

slide as a visual aid. You could ask children

to write some of the answers on the board.
