Your sts may know how to count a little.
You could write the numbers and their words on the board to include the eldest student �s age.
1 one
2 two
11 eleven
12 twelve
15 fifteen etc.
Get students to say numbers with you. Repeat words that are difficult. Count round the class.
Draw a birthday cake with candles & a child with a name underneath eg: Tomas (stick figures are fine)
Count the candles aloud encourage students to participate.
Say � Tomas is six �
Point to a student and say �How old are you? �
Draw another candle on the cake. Recount.
Draw another child, say � Maria is seven �
Draw a word bubble so Maria says � I am seven �
Point to a student and say �How old are you? �
Encourage student by saying �I �m ...... � then point at the numbers round that students age.
Once they get the pattern of �How old are you? � �I �m thirteen � etc. they could pair off and ask each other.
You can then ask �How old is he/she? �, pointing to another student to elicit the answer �He/she is ........ � .
Good Luck!
