NUMBER GAMES
Here are some fun activities for introducing, practicing, and reviewing numbers:
Buzz
In this counting game, students take turns counting consecutively from 1-100. But
there's a catch! For every multiple of 5, players must say "Buzz" instead of the
number. For an added challenge, play "Backwards Buzz" (counting down from 100)
or choose a multiple other than 5.
Mixed-Up Dot-to-Dots
Take a traditional dot-to-dot picture, but change the numbers so that they are
out of order. Either read or print the correct order of numbers. This activity will
require students to comprehend numbers out of sequence (a real life skill) in
order to complete the picture.
The Price is Right
Determine a secret price for a number of objects
your students might shop for, such as CD’s, t-shirts,
jewelry, or even a computer. Players guess the price
in euros, following teacher clues of higher and lower.
Four Corners
This fun counting game is usually reserved for gym class, but it can easily be
adapted to classroom play with a "no running" ground rule. Blindfold one student
who becomes the "Chooser." This person counts to ten while the rest of the class
tiptoes to a corner of the classroom. Then the Chooser points to a corner.
Everyone in that corner must return to his or her seat and help count from 11-20.
Repeat the process, eliminate more players, and continue with the numbers 20-30,
30-40, etc. When just one player remains, you have a winner and the next
Chooser.
Fly Swatters
Arrange number flashcards on the ground. Give two players flyswatters. Call off
a number and determine the fastest “swatter.”

Concentration
Small groups of students match cards with a number and a number word. When
students find matches they are entitled to keep the cards and take another turn.
See who can find the most matches.
Dice Math
Students roll dice and create oral or written math
problems in the target language. Simply identify the
number on the first die, and then add or multiply the
number on the second die.
Number Building
When your students are masters at numbers up to 100, try really challenging
them. Give them single-digit cards and call out numbers in the hundreds,
thousands, or even higher. See who can be the first to arrange their cards in the
correct order.
Basketball
Play this fun team competition game to practice identifying numbers out of
sequence. Divide your class into two teams, and call up one player at a time to
identify a number flashcard. If correct, the player earns one point for their team
and the opportunity to throw a ball in a basket from the one-, two-, or three-point
line for additional points. Encourage lots of cheering in the target language!
Phone Book
Have your students compile a class phone book by circulating around the room and
asking their classmates, “What’s your phone number?” in the target language.
Seven
Everyone in the room stands and takes turns counting. Whenever a student says a
number with a seven in it (7, 17, 27, etc.) that student must sit down. Last person
standing wins!
Bingo
Play standard bingo, or have students create their own cards with number words,
math problems, or phone numbers. Template on the following page.

Tic Tac Toe
Students write numbers in each square of the tic tac toe grid. With a partner,
players identify the number in the target language before marking an X or O. On
the following pages are pre-prepared bingo grids. Laminate for long use and use
manipulatives such as bingo chips to mark X’s and O’s. Some ideas:
Identify the number
Create an original sentence using the number
Create a math problem in which the number is the answer
State the numbers as a price in target culture currency
