More Classroom-Ready Activities & Ideas to Teach Numbers 1–100 in ESL/EFL. This is Part 2 of our number series — giving you even more ways to help elementary English language learners (ELLs) practice numbers from 1 to 100 in meaningful ways. These activities build fluency, confidence, and number sense through games, speaking, listening, and interaction.
100s chart with Number, Colors and
Letters flashcards. I saw a similar idea on an old book and
thought I could make one that can be used in the classroom and a small version
for students to play in small groups. Place on the board all the colors
flashcards horizontally and the letters cards vertically and fill in with the
numbers flashcards.
Teacher: F ! blue!
Students: 57!
Teacher: 88!
Students: I! green !
Make
more examples for the class to guess. Then students in small groups can play
with their printable version.
Use
the Number chart sheet printable. Give students instructions for coloring some
numbers.
Teacher: Number 91 is red.
I
also have a the colored worksheet that you can use multiple times for speaking
activities . Have the students read aloud the numbers in chorus as you say the
row.
Teacher: Row F!
Students: 51,52,5,3,54,55,56,57,58,59,60!
Teacher: RED!
Students: 5,15,25,35,45,55,65,75,85,95!
Use the Ipad
printable for writing.I placed the printable into a clear sheet and used
white board markers for writing. All these materials can be used for all your
themes.
I have this round puncher that I usually use to punch
out colored cardboard pieces left from other projects. I made a matching game using them.
Give the students the blank squares and a numeral card.
They have to write that number in words and keep it but hand in the number
card. Mix up the number cards and hand
in the students a different number card. At your signal students have to stand
up and walk around looking for a match of their number card and a word card
that they wrote. When they have found a match they say MATCH! Go over and verify, take away both cards of the match and
have them continue playing.
Tell the students that they are going on a fast counting investigation. Give each group
a classroom item card and have them count how many of that item are there in
the classroom.
Group 1. There are 25
backpacks.
I found the idea of a similar game at Mailbox.com, I thought that it is a fun speaking game and
gave it a twist. I added children on motorcycles and a road, along with Go and
stop sign, not missing the numbers cards 1 to 100. Get two lunch bags and glue
the stop and go on each bag. Separate the class into small groups and hand each
group a set of bags with the numbers cards in each bag and the game pieces.
There are 5 children on their motorcycles. Each student picks a character.
Student 1 picks a card from the Go bag and a card from the STOP bag. That
students says the numbers from the go to the stop numbers. If the student 1
says all the numbers, he moves his character one line along the road and sets
aside the number cards. If the student does not say the number correctly, then
the character cannot move.
Place all the numbers in a bag. Grab a number card and
say it. Have the students write 3 more consecutives numbers and read the
sequence aloud.
The small number
cards can be used to express number sense in the target language. I made a
printable format to play with the numbers finding consecutive numbers, the
numbers before and the numbers that go after a specific one.
I
made this Monster eats box for my Alphabet blog post. I had it standing around
the studio and used it with the Number cards.
Teacher: Find number 55. The monster is eating number 55!
Use
the small number cards to review prepositions. I printed a big 100 number and
placed a clip behind it so it can stand. I also placed small clips behind the
small cards.
Teacher: Number 50 is on Number 100.
Teacher: Number 55 is behind Number 100.
Teacher: Number 57 is in front of Number 100.
There are many ways to have the students practice writing.
Students can have their own set of scrabble letters and
write the word for each Number flashcard.
I love this scrabble game. Students can play at their own pace. Students can make their own rules and have fun while writing number words.
Just three worksheets
to join this theme. I have seen so many teachers using notebooks and I
remembered me using them a lot. I would tear down a worksheet and make more
activities on the notebooks. I gave my own worksheets a try.
And I got inspired remembering what I used to do years
ago. Students can copy the numbers from the board or from the flashcards.
Dictation is a good listening exercise.
