Students need to be comfortable with numbers as they are a core part of basic vocabulary for this level. Learning them helps expand the students' English lexicon. In class you use numbers for instructions (e.g., "Turn to page 10," "Circle number 15"), so understanding numbers is crucial for following directions.Write your lesson plan for english ESL.

Have the dogs worksheets with numbers 1 to 20 printed for each student. They will read and color the dogs accordingly. Perfect for recognizing numerals 1–20.

There is another dog-themed worksheet with the numbers to do the matching activity by reading simple sentences.

Another printable matching mat activity, great for individual or small group work. You can also cut all the cards and there you have a memory game. Ideal to practice One-to-one correspondence (matching quantity to numeral).

Counting Bones File Folder Game

This file folder game gives students another fun way to practice number words from 1 to 20. Children match each counting card to the correct number word, strengthening counting skills, number recognition, and vocabulary. It's a simple, hands-on activity that works well for math centers, independent practice, partner work, or early finisher tasks. Laminate the folder and cards for a durable resource you'll use all year long.

I just had to do this Number wheel for counting 1 to 20 that I saw on Instagram, not easy to create it but I finally got it. Print the 3 wheels, cut and pass a butterfly clip to hold them together. Students will match the dig, the numeral and the word. Fun and easy to play with.
