I am reediting the whole Birthday unit from 2015. And let's talk about age.
Watch the video of the product:

First,
review the numbers 1 to 10 or more numbers depending on the grade level. The big flashcards
are easy to play with. I also made a smaller size set of cards for smaller groups of students.
Place
all the flashcards on the board. Each flashcard has a different color. Ask
questions.
Teacher: What color is number five?
Students: purple!
Teacher: What number is brown?
Students: seven!
Bring 10 students to the front of the class. Hand in the
number flashcards in order. Stand behind the student with the number three
flashcard.
Teacher: What number is this?
Students: three
Teacher: What number is before 3?
(stand behind flashcard number 2)
Students: two!
Teacher: What number is after 3? (stand
behind flashcard number 2)
Students: four!
Make
spelling fun using the bottle caps. The template is free. Link:

The
numbers worksheet is for extra
practice.
Teacher: Color number three purple!
After
they are done coloring and cutting all the cards,play show me!
Teacher: Show me Number eight! What color
is it?
Students: brown!
Idea 2. Have the students color each number as they wish but
using all 10 colors. The students must have colored the 10 numbers in each one of the 10 colors.
Have them cut the numbers as cards before playing. Say a color and a number and
the students who have them stand up or make a small group.
Teacher: red number 6!
Another worksheet!
When the worksheet is done, have the students cut all the questions and the number pictures and glue them on their notebook.
