Numbers for MELTimodal Schools




First, the teacher will decide when to use the material in the lesson. There is also a glossary that can be used for unknown words. 


Instructions for teachers:

  • Look around! Take a big breath in. Do you see one fluffy cloud in the sky? Say "one" with me! One cloud, so big and white.                

  • Now breathe out slowly. Feel the air on your lips? Wiggle your two fingers and say "two" with me! Two fingers, ready to play!

  • Open your eyes! Look at your four colorful crayons. Touch one and say "one," then another and say "two," then another and say "three," and finally the last one and say "four" with me! Four crayons for drawing pictures.              

  • Now, wiggle your five fingers and say "five" with me! Five fingers to draw a picture!
