Fall French Number Game – “J’ai, qui a ?”

Numbers and Number Words 0–30

This autumn version of “J’ai, qui a ?” is a classroom game for practicing French numbers and number words from 0 to 30. The set includes two versions: one with the standard French spelling of the numbers, and one with the words written in syllables. The second version has been especially helpful for younger students or for those who are just beginning to read in French, because longer words like dix-sept or vingt-neuf are easier to manage when broken down.

The activity is flexible. You can play with only 0–10 at the start, then expand to 0–20, and later use the full 0–30. That way, the same set grows with the class and can be reused several times during the year. I have used the game in whole-class circles, where each student reads their card in turn, and in small groups during center work. It also works well as a quick warm-up or filler activity when a lesson ends early.

The rules are simple. The student with the start card begins with: “J’ai zéro, qui a un ?” The next student answers, and the chain continues until the final card is reached. Because every student has to listen carefully for their number, the activity builds attention and supports speaking in full sentences as well as number recognition.

Preparation is easy: print the cards, cut them apart, and store them in envelopes or small boxes. Laminating helps if you plan to reuse the cards year after year. The fall theme gives it a seasonal touch, but the language practice is useful at any time.
