Suggested activities (continued):
•
Pupils can create multilingual cards with numbers and use them to challenge each other in simple sums
•
Pupils can be given (or can create) bingo cards and play the game. Another game could be to assign a
number to each pupil and ask them to sign them in a chain (vary the game by giving instructions such as:
skip every second number, count in reverse order, every time we make a mistake, we start again)
•
Many active games can be played involving numbers, such as the classic “Capture the flag”, or skipping rope
while counting. Some of these may extend outside of the classroom and require outdoor or gym space
•
Introduce simple numbers (1 to 12)
•
Ask pupils if they know how to sign numbers in any other sign language. Is there anything they found
surprising or interesting about signing numbers?
Before we finish:
What most helped you to learn
about numbers and other words?
Do you think that you would enjoy
watching songs in different
signed languages?
