An added bonus– You get to say you reinforce other content areas in the target language, which administrators LOVE.
Jim Wooldridge (Señor Wooly) has a wonderful tutorial for a math card game that helps students practice numbers up to 99. The game is called Noventa y Nueve and the video tutorial can be found here: http://www.senorwooly.com/blog/sr-wooly-video-tutorial-6/ He also has a link to the reference sheet for the students in the comments section. My students love the game and we have played it all class period or just for a few minutes.
I just watched how to do the 99 game and I really want to try it. I loved all his ideas really.
Trying to find something for math breaks I found this link on Pinterest. Watch the second video. I just couldn’t remember where the Math break article was or i would have shared with all.
Rock, paper, Math. Addition at first and then multiplication?

That is cute Erica, thanks for finding those ! I can see doing that in the target language to play with numbers.
I tried it today with numbers 0-10. Students seemed to like it. 🙂
I know I’m a few months late here, but sometimes it takes awhile to get to all the great ideas on here. Here’s a great and energizing game to practice numbers to 100. My kids love this one and beg to play it again. It’s called “come on, six!” Students are in small groups (I find no more than four is best). Each group has one piece of paper, one pen or pencil and one die. Students take turns rolling always. The first person to roll a 6 starts. They grab the pen and paper and start writing the numbers (just the digits) but they MUST say the number out loud in the TL. The other players continue taking turns rolling (only one roll each then the next person) until the next person gets a 6. That person then calls out “6!” and steals the pen and paper, continuing to write where the last person left off, again saying them out loud in the TL. This continues until they reach 100. The person to write AND say 100 wins. It is hilarious when the student writing 98 or 99 gets the paper stolen from them. The kids really enjoy it. I tell my kids that if the student isn’t counting out loud in the TL, they are to take the pen away and lay it in the middle until the next person rolls a 6.
Great Idea! Thank you for sharing Britt!
