"How old are you? I'm ..."
Game
Structure
- This is a pretty simple lesson, teach numbers then play bingo.
- You can allow each student to draw a number for the bingo game and call it out, so to increase class participation, and at the end you can teach "How old are you?" as the grammar point.
- When teaching numbers, teach 1 to 12, and then you can divide the class into lunch groups, with each group selecting their best person to say 1 to 12 as quickly as they can, timed individually. The fastest group can win a prize.
- When teaching beyond 12, stress the "~teen" as a long sound and the "~ty" as a short sound. Demonstrate six-teeeeen and six-ty.
- Once they understand that, it's easy making the combination for numbers up to 99. The other main thing you must teach is that three becomes "thir" for 13 and 30, and five becomes "fif" for 15 and 50.
