Number Cards for Games

             Number Cards for Games
These number cards for games are great for reinforcing numbers in any language.
I created these cards to create fun and engaging games while kids learn.  The kids love to play this game especially because of the manipulative they use. Instead of using the traditional Bingo-spotters, I bought some Super Hero figures for the boys and Fairy Tale Friends for the girls to use as game markers for these cards. The kids love it so much!

Here are some ideas and recommendations to play:
·         Give a card to each student. You can either place the figures for the boys in a small basket and the figures for girls in another basket and as the numbers are called out they can pick out the figures to place on the cards; or you can give each student a certain amount of figures for use.
·         Instructor calls out a number. The first student to complete one vertical and one horizontal row wins. For variation, you can have a child call out the numbers.
·         Create a fun math game with older children by calling out a number sentence and have student find the answer to the number sentence on their card. For example you can say: 4 + 4 or 8 – 6. Children find the number 8 or 2 on their card. These numbers or number sentence should be called out in the target language. You can set your own set of rules for winning.
·         Depending on size group you can give children more than one card.
·         You can encourage children to say in Spanish or the target language the number they have found. For example when calling out a number, students look for that number ,and as they find it on their card they can say: “encontré cuatro” as an example.
The uses are many. Be as creative as you can be!

Interactive Practice Cards - Spanish

      Interactive Practice Cards - Spanish

These Interactive Practice Cards are a great supplement to the Interactive Flash Cards Bundle. There are 10 cards. Two cards each for animals, colors, numbers, shapes and vocabulary. There are 60 round little cards to go along with each pair of cards.
Children can practice and reinforce what they have learned with this practical tool. Use them as an evaluation tool, circle time and individual practice time.

Here are some ideas you can use with these interactive practice cards:
·         Use them for assessment: After children use the Interactive Flash Cards and are familiar with the images and names in Spanish, use the Interactive Practice Cards for assessment to see who needs more help. Give each child one or more round cards. Allow them to take turns placing the round cards on the correct spot on the big card.

·         Call out a word on the big card in Spanish, the student who has the round card places it on the correct spot on the big card.
·         Create teams and see which team fills the cards correctly first. It can also be done in pairs.

·         Make an extra copy of the round cards before cutting out for review. You can ask to point to something specific on the card.

   You can create a bingo game with the cards too!
·         Play a game where children or teacher ask for example: ¿dónde está la mesa? or ¿dónde está el círculo? Have all the round cards on the floor or in a basket and have students find the specific item. Once they find it, they place it on the correct spot on the big card.
The uses are many. Be as creative as you can be!
