Description of the material

With these word-picture cards, children learn about the topic of numbers in primary school English lessons. Each card shows a large, colorful number together with the corresponding English number word.

What is included in the material

  • Word-picture cards: cards for the numbers from zero to thirty-one, for the tens from forty to ninety, and for hundred
  • Ideas for lessons: an overview with suggestions for using the cards in English lessons

Tips for using the material

  • It is useful to introduce new number words with the cards so that the children associate each word with the picture of the number.
  • For pronunciation exercises, it is a good idea for the children to see the number on the card and pronounce the corresponding word together.
  • It can be useful to consolidate the vocabulary in a matching game ("Matching Game"), in which the word and picture are brought together.
  • In pair or group work, the cards can encourage conversation: one person describes the picture, the other guesses the corresponding word.
  • It is helpful to also use the number words in writing: the children form sentences with the words on the cards or write the corresponding word for a number and practice spelling in the process.
  • For learning stations in the classroom, the cards can be combined with tasks such as "describe the picture" or "form a sentence".

These competencies are promoted

  • Vocabulary: know English number words and assign them to the corresponding number
  • Pronunciation: pronounce the number words correctly when looking at the number
  • Spelling: write the English number words correctly
  • Speaking and writing: use number words in your own sentences and short conversations

For further practice, the poster with the number words, the vocabulary cards with translation, the memo game about the number words, and the labeling worksheet are suitable.
