Numbers: Vocabulary Quiz for the English Classroom

Working together at the interactive whiteboard in primary school English class, this Vocabulary Quiz helps children practice the Numbers from zero to nineteen. For a given digit, they choose the correct English number word and hold up their answer at the same time using a card. Similar words such as four and fourteen are often placed directly next to each other as options.
