This is for Lesson 11: Let's Draw: with the real heads with cartoon bodies book.
It's a simple bomb game I found in last year's 3rd Grade book, lesson 9 - I have two pencils (counting).

Here's a Mario game for the lesson.

Thanks again to everybody who contributes and makes life easier!

This is for the motivation, they must know the number to say the age.

These are the activities i will be using during unit 11.

1) - Memory Game (numbers 1-10). I made 4 sets of these flash cards and so played the game with the class split into 4 teams. There are two copies of each number in each set (so on set contains the numbers 1-10 twice = 20 cards).
All cards are placed face down on the table ... children select a card and say the key sentence 'i am ... years old (using the number for the age). They then choose another card and say the sentence. If the cards match, they keep the card and play again. If not ... the next student plays his / her turn.

The kids really enjoyed this ... a warning though ... they get loud!
Also, it is worth laminating these / sticking them on colored paper squares (or the students can see through the card making the game pointless).

2) How old is he? - Guessing game.

Students are split into two teams ... they have to guess the age of the character on the screen .... teacher will tell them higher / lower as clues ... the team who guesses correctly wins the points.

3) Bingo - http://www.bingoport.co.uk/bingo-caller/
I used a website to make bingo cards (students work in pairs) and the above site as a bingo caller. students say the key phrase for each number shown.

4) Grade 5 - Unit 11 - How Old Are You - How many game

When you press the hint button ... images flash up .. students must work out how many there are ... then use that number to make the key sentences ... hit the show button to display the picture static on the slide.


hope these ideas help ... feel free to modify as you see fit ... any feedback greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

A few things i made / used for unit 11 - How Old Is He?

1) Grade 5 - Unit 11 - How Old Is He - Guessing Game

Students split into two teams, they must guess how old the character is on the slide. The teacher gives 'higher' 'lower' clues to guide the students to the correct answer.
- this is good for higher numbers

2) Memory Game

- I made 4 sets of the flash cards (stick them on colored paper {so the students can not see through the cards} and laminate them {so they do not get destroyed in the first class})

Students are split into four teams, cards are turned upside down on the table, the children have to find matching pairs. each time they turn a card over they must say the key phrase 'I am .... years old.

3) Grade 5 - Unit 11 - How Old Are You - How many game

Hit the hint button to flash up an image ... children have to guess how many items there are in the picture ... then use that number to make the sentence (I am ... years old).

Hope these help some people out,
feel free to modify.

Any feedback / suggestions would be greatly received.

Thanks.

this song is a good practice to study numbers

Here's a simple OMOK I made. We taught up until #13. Students simply have to ask their partner "How old are you?" and the partner has to answer in the location they want to place their X or O. Five in a row wins.

This is a game I played for the writing period. Each teams needs a white board and marker (make sure they change writers after each slide). They solve the slide write it down and the first team to raise their board gets a point (I chose the first 2 teams to keep them interested). The last slide is worth 3 points. Hope you find this useful, my kids loved it!!

Thanks, that's a great help, I reallly struggle with the basic lessons!

  Play 3-6-9 game.
 
  Each student will say a number from 1 in order.
  But whenever the numbers have 3, 6, 9, they should clap without saying it.
  of course, 33/36/39.... clap twice.

  Simple but students like it.
