Say the numbers 1-10 in order around a circle, prompting the family if necessary. 3. Continue with more numbers if they find 1-10 easy. 4. Use two sets of the number flashcards for a concentration matching game. Place all the cards face down and each person turns over two, if they have the same two cards they keep them, the person with the most cards at the end wins. Each time a card is turned over the number should be said out loud. 5. To check understanding, hold up random number flashcards after the game and see if your hosts can identify them quickly. Suggestions for Further Teaching If the family are comfortable with the numbers you can further the activity by asking 'how old are you?'. Start by saying 'I am ___ years old, how old are you?' To help with written English you can make flashcards with written numbers. You can carry out the concentration game where the written number has to be matched to a numeral.
