Numerous number games
Might just be the physics graduate in me coming out, but I seem to find myself teaching numbers in my classes all the time- be it shouting “seven Eight NIne TEEEEEEN!” at the top of my voice in my kindy classes or bringing my tape measure into my Technical English classes to liven things up by measuring the table and people’s noses.
Here’s a selection of games ideas and worksheets on teaching everything from “How old are you?” “I am three” to kids who are actually two but have been trained to say “I am three” by overambitious Thai parents to get them into class to “one billion seven hundred and two million point one” and the difference between “zero”, “nought”, “nil” and “oh” to Financial English students who need to learn something from you for once rather than teaching you about the weaknesses in your financial portfolio as usual.
So here they are, starting with a brand new article on the TEFL.net Idea Thinktank page:
