Explore the objectives of this session and the ordered sequence of games connected to it.
Count aloud, answer "How many…?", and follow numbers inside an instruction ("three jumps", "groups of four"). Keep it to single words and two-word chunks the whole group can chant together.
React to a called number: grab that many cones, form a group that size, or run to that marker — then say the number back. Less prompting than the first pass: the group is expected to answer at game speed. Played out in Little circuit with numbers and Group Forming Game.
Numbers in English — 1 to 10 first, then up to 20 once the group is ready — counted, heard and said back. A return to the topic — the words should come without flashcards this time.

Form a group by holding hands ("Let's make a circle") and then "sit down". The teachers show the numbers, one at a time, and then ask the children, ‘What number is this?’ in random order. "What is your favourite number?"
The teachers divide the children into three rows, each with a different colour. One volunteer stands at the start and says, ‘3-2-1-go!’; another stands at the finish line and says, ‘Touch the number...’. The children must complete the relay and touch the correct number. Teachers perform a demonstration run (also in collaboration with 1-2 children),
Students move freely around a marked area, reacting to English commands. When the teacher calls a number, students must form groups of exactly that size as fast as possible!
