Embedding the language
You can use numbers to count things throughout
your lessons.
¡Cuánto challenge!
Every time the teacher calls, “¿Cuánto?” the
pupils have to count whatever they have in front
of them and then say it in Spanish.
Using numbers and counting as a way of settling
a class, putting a time limit on tidying etc.
I have explored numbers, understanding that they represent quantities, and I can
use them to count, create sequences and describe order.

(Finger) puppets for counting
Using a Spanish puppet and asking pupils to
teach him how to count in English and then the
puppet can teach them how to count in Spanish,
helps pupils to differentiate between the two
and can help enhance their developing
numeracy skills in English.
I have explored numbers, understanding that they represent quantities, and I can
use them to count, create sequences and describe order.

¡Contar, Contar!
1. All pupils sit in a circle with 10 toys in the centre.
2. They then close their eyes and say the numbers from 1 –
10.
3. Whilst they are counting, another pupil (or the teacher)
removes a number of toys from the middle.
4. When they get to 10 they open their eyes and have to say
how many toys are in the centre (by asking “¿Cuánto?”)
5. You could let whoever guessed it right take them
away/hide them afterwards.

use them to count, create sequences and describe order.
