Fall French Domino Game – Numbers and Number Words 0–30

🇫🇷 Fall French Domino Game

Numbers and Number Words 0–30

This autumn domino game is designed to help students practice French numbers and number words from 0 up to 30. Because all the cards are written in French, learners get repeated exposure to the vocabulary in a natural way. I like using this activity during the fall months, when a seasonal theme adds a little extra motivation.

The set contains 68 cards, divided into two versions. One set shows the standard number words, and the other uses syllable writing to make longer words easier to read. I have found that the syllable version is especially helpful for beginners who struggle with words like dix-sept or vingt-quatre. It allows them to read step by step and build confidence.

The game can be played in different ways. Sometimes I use only the 0–10 cards to keep it simple, then extend to 0–20 or the full 0–30 as students progress. In small groups, we play competitively, with each student trying to use all of their cards first. With the whole class, I spread the cards on the floor so we can build one long chain together. Both versions encourage attention, speaking, and collaboration.

The rules follow the classic domino format: players match a number with the correct number word, and the game ends when all cards have been placed or no moves remain. Students quickly understand the structure and enjoy the challenge of finding the right match.

Preparation is straightforward. Print the cards, cut them apart, and laminate if you want to reuse them for several years. I store the different ranges (0–10, 0–20, 0–30) in separate envelopes so I can quickly choose the right set for the group I’m teaching.

This resource works well in French immersion, dual language, or world language classrooms. It supports both math and literacy skills by combining number recognition, vocabulary, and reading fluency in a playful and social format.
