Next Number?  
Submitted by: Elem ALT team 
Outline: After saying their own number, students decide and call out the next number.
 
Teaching Suggestions:
  • Assign the weaker students the easier numbers.
  • Stress the importance of remembering their numbers.  This sounds rudimentary but it happens a lot.
  • Only one number should be assigned to one student.  If there are more students than numbers, the same numbers can be given to multiple students.  However, when those students standup, have them play Janken to decide who calls the next number.
 
Procedure:
  1. Each student is assigned a number. Choose a number to start.
  2. The student(s) who was assigned that number must stand up and say their number, then chooses another number.  The number must be within the number range assigned.
  3. The student whose number was chosen, must repeat the process.
  4. Students remain standing until everyone’s number has been called.

 

Variations:

  • Once all the students are standing, have the students sit down by counting off from number one.
