Embedding the languageYou 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.MNU 0-02a

Sample activities You will find a bank of sample activities which you can use to practice the vocabulary in the classroom.

This is not a prescriptive list of activities and you can use or adapt them to suit the needs of your class.

(Finger) puppets for countingUsing 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.

¡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.
