Grammar objectives

Count aloud, answer "How many…?", and follow numbers inside an instruction ("three jumps", "groups of four"). Aim for full sentences and real exchanges between participants, whatever their level.

Action objectives

React to a called number: grab that many cones, form a group that size, or run to that marker — then say the number back. Played out in The ball, Touch the cones and Parcour.

Lexical objectives

Numbers in English — 1 to 10 first, then up to 20 once the group is ready — counted, heard and said back.

The hawk

All the children stand on one side of the room, except for two children who are the hawks. The hawks decide on a colour and then say, “Under the wings of the hawk!” The other children respond, “What colour?” The hawks then say the colour they have chosen. The children who are wearing that colour can safely walk to the other side of the room. The children not wearing that colour must try to run to the other side without being caught by the hawks. Anyone who gets caught becomes a hawk for the next round.
