Brief Outline: Students practice saying numbers 1-13.
Materials Needed:
- A set of playing cards for each group
Detailed Explanation:
- After dividing the students into groups of about four, give each group a set of playing cards and have them divide the cards equally (without looking at them).
- On the board, write A=1, J=11, Q=12, K=13.
- Quickly review numbers 1-13 with students.
- Students take turns flipping over their top card, and saying the number displayed.
- Keep doing this, going around the circle in turn.
- If the same card comes up again, the first student to slap the card pile and yell "numbers" wins those cards.
- The winner is the student who gains all the cards, or has the most cards when game time is over.
Variations:
- To make it harder, students can also snap on number sequences. For example, if a six is laid down, and then a seven or a five is put down, they can snap.
- You can use this activity for months of the year by nominating a number for each month (A= January, 5=May)
- Make your own set of playing cards and use them for vocabulary practice.
Teaching Suggestions:
- Do a demonstration with the JTE/ALT so the students understand.
Tips/Cautions:
- Some groups will forget or not not bother to say the English, and instead just wait for the slap.
