What can be done with them? Yes, anything - draw, invent associations, paint, cut, sculpt, decipher (my children love to play translators of secret magical languages) and so on!

The main task of teachers is to motivate children, arouse interest in English, love it and love the learning process. What do children love? Children love to play and have fun. I propose to use these words and anchor the English language with positive emotions, so that for the child it would be like a mini-holiday, so that he would run to the lesson with pleasure!

How to memorize numbers in English?

Deciphering magic signs

We always play the top position deciphering from magical languages.

I "encrypt" English letters, the children translate. For example,

JI☼ - what is it?

Below they are given a "translator"
J-o
I-n
☼-e

And children make up words (only icons in the translator, of course, for each letter).

I will give a few more examples of how to teach numbers in English.

1) Thumb up! Down!

I use this technique both for memorizing the alphabet (if you are interested, here is the article: ""), and for memorizing the numbers of the English language. Thumb up - pronounce numbers in English in order, thumb down - in reverse order.

2) Forbidden number

We stand in a circle and throw the ball to each other, but each new circle we assign a forbidden number. When the turn of the forbidden number comes, instead of saying it, you need to perform some action that you discuss together during the game (clap your hands, stomp, crouch, jump, etc.). Great for memory development and fun for kids!

3) 2 balls

This time there are two balls. For example, green - count in order, yellow - in reverse order. We don’t throw in turn, but the balls work in a circle at the same time ... Even my brain breaks 🙂

4) match

For speed in two teams, you need to match the numbers with the words denoting them.

5) Cut and put together

We write on the cards in large letters the studied numbers in English, cut them into pieces of different sizes and shapes, and the children must collect these pieces for a while.

6) Bingo!

We also already wrote about this game in the article "". The meaning is the same, but we only use numbers in English instead of letters.

7) What's missing?

We lay out the cards with numbers, first in order, then in a scatter. The children close their eyes and the teacher hides one of the cards. Opening their eyes, the children say what is missing.

And it’s not enough just to guess, you also have to find it, the children are looking for the class, and the teacher says where it’s warm and where it’s cold.

8) Songs, chants

The songs are usually very simple, but the children like them and "eat" into the memory. When the lesson ends, everyone continues to sing songs. And so am I. 🙂

9) Maths

Many children do not like mathematics at school, but for some reason they love English mathematics!))

10) Energizing numbers

Children get tired of sitting for a long time, nothing energizes them like movement!

We come up with (all together) funny moves for each number (for example, “one” - jump on one leg and shout “Hurray”!). Then the teacher randomly calls out the numbers (or, alternatively, you can make a colorful round pinwheel out of paper, pierce the center with a pencil and put a paper clip on the pencil to indicate the number), and the children imitate the movement. I am amazed every time how good their memory is (when they are not asked to "remember" but just play... well, at least they think so)!

Crossword

To consolidate the studied numbers in English, we offer you a crossword puzzle which you can solve together with your child. You need to solve a mathematical problem, and write the answer in English in the appropriate field.

You can also download an empty and completed crossword:

Good luck to you! We look forward to your advice, additions and methods.

Baby! Don't be afraid to learn something new! If you know the numbers in Russian, then you will definitely find out how they are written and pronounced in English. In that distant country of England, the numbers are written and pronounced a little differently, they are not complicated at all. Now let's take a look at the history of the emergence of numbers.

A short course in the history of the emergence of numbers

There used to be primitive people, they knew this world, just like you do now. And they noticed that they had five fingers on each hand. Look at your hand now. See? You have five fingers. And there are five fingers on the other hand. And if you put them together, it turns out that you have ten fingers on both hands. People realized that numbers can be written down somehow, for example, on stones, because there were no pens and pencils then.

You ask, why should I write? Well, for example, you can write down the number on paper and remember that you bought two ice creams yesterday and now you already need three ice creams. Now we will stop on the course of history and go straight to the numbers.

Table of numbers from 1 to 20

Number	Number name in English	Transcription of an English number	Approximate pronunciation of an English number in Russian	Name of the English number in Russian
0	zero	[´ziərəu]	´Zierou	zero
1	one		one	one

Want to learn more numbers? For example.

For the first time, children begin to get acquainted with a foreign language in kindergarten. Learn simple words that are found in everyday life. Every first grader should know how to count in English within ten. This is a basic program, it must be mastered by the child when entering school. Numbers in English can be learned not only easily, but also exciting. Today, many interesting ways and methods have been invented for this.

Learn numbers from 1 to 19

English numbers from 1 to 100 are easy to count and learn if you approach the learning process with ingenuity. To quickly learn a new language, you need to understand the process of generating an account. At the initial stage, it is worth learning only 12 numbers that will help you master the entire grammatical series. Every student and adult knows them. Therefore, any parent can teach their child with ease.

First you need to memorize the numbers from 1 to 12. A special table will help to do this.

Number	Name in Russian	Name in English + how the word is spelled
1	One	one	One
2	Two	twu	That
3	Three	three	Free
4	Four	four	Fo
5	Five	five	Fife
6	Six	six	Syks
7	Seven	seven	Sevn
8	Eight	eight	Eith
9	Nine	nine	nein
10	Ten	ten	Teng
11	Eleven	eleven	Elavn
12	Twelve	twelve	Tuelv

The presented English number series, as a rule, is taught in poetic form, so it is easy to remember.

Counting from 13 to 19, knowing the previous numbers by heart will be easy. To do this, you need to learn how to independently compose a number series using the learned numbers.

To get 13, you need to add the suffix teen (tin) to the number 3, it turns out three (free) + teen (tin) \u003d thirteen (fetin). The same rule applies to the number five and four:

• four (fo) + teen (tin) = fourteen (fotin) - 14;
• five (fifty) + teen (tin) \u003d fifteen (fiftin) - 15.

This row can be continued until 19: 16 - sixteen, 17 - seventeen, 18 - eighteen, 19 - nineteen. If a child understands the process of forming numbers from 1 to 20, English will become a favorite language for the baby, which is not at all difficult to learn on your own or with the help of parents.

Compiling dozens

Tens in English is just as interesting to learn as other numbers in the account. Because they are formed in the same way as the previous figures. Round numbers are obtained by adding the suffix ty (ti). For example, to understand how to pronounce and write 20, 30, 40, 50, you need:

twu (tu) + ty (ti) = twenty (twenti) - 20;

three (free) + ty (ty) = thirty (hundreds) - 30;

four (fo) + ty (ti) = forty (foti) - 40;

five (fife) + ty (ty) = fifty (fifty) - 50.

Thus, a table of round tens is obtained.

Number	Name in Russian	Approximate pronunciation in Russian	Title in English
20	Twenty	Tventi	Twenty
30	Thirty	Soti	Thirty
40	Fourty	Foti	Forty
50	Fifty	Fivety	Fifty
60	Sixty	Sixty	sixty
70	Seventy	seventy	seventy
80	Eighty	Aity	Eighty
90	Ninety	Knighty	Ninety

It is worth remembering how the numbers 50, 40, 30, 20 are written and pronounced. These are the words of the exception. When they are formed, the root is modified.

Getting the rest of the numbers from one to one hundred is also not difficult. Any student can do this if he understands the technology of their education. You can give an example on the numbers 54 and 45:

• 54 consists of fifty and four, so in English it will sound like fifty (50) + four (4) = fifty-four (fifty-fo);
• 45 consists of forty (forty) and five (five), it turns out forty-five (foty five).

As shown above, the number is made up of tens and ones, which is closely related to the Russian language - 20 (twenty) + 5 (five) \u003d 25 (twenty-five). In the native language, numbers are readable. This facilitates the learning process.

Any kid will be able to understand the pattern of creating numbers four, five, ten, twenty-four, etc. up to 100 if parents help and guide him. Already in elementary school, he will have extensive acquaintance with English and British pronunciation, their difference. In the first grades, children are already learning how to write and pronounce numbers up to 100. Therefore, it is extremely important to help the child master a foreign language perfectly before entering school.

How to teach a child to count in English? Of course, using gaming activities. Funny games at the English lesson will help children not only quickly master the score, but also fix the names of English numbers in memory for a long time. I suggest several english counting games. Some of them are simple and suitable for children in grades 1 and 2. Others are more complex and will appeal to adults or older children who are just starting to learn English.

Games for teaching English counting.

• Blind lot.

This game will appeal to younger students and will help them not only fix the names of English numerals, but also an additional vocabulary of your choice.

You will need cards with drawings of a different number of objects. What will be drawn on the cards is up to you. If you recently went through animals, then let them be animals, if the names of products, then make cards with products. I have several sets on different topics. So, let's say these are animals, then on one card there should be one animal, on the second two others, on the third - three and so on.

Here are my cards.

This is a team game. Divide the class into two or three teams. Lay the cards face down. A representative of each team comes up and chooses a card. Let's say a child chose a card with 4 dogs drawn, which means that his team claims 4 points. In order to get them, the child must first count in English to four, and then name the animal that is drawn on the card 4 times. That is the correct answer:

One, two, three, four - dog, dog, dog, dog

If the student succeeded, the team gets 4 points, and you remove the card, if not, the move goes to the other team, and the card is returned face down to the table. The team with the most points at the end of the game wins.

• Counting.

A counting game is not even a game, but a simple game activity for practicing counting in the 1st or 2nd grade. Children become in a circle. The teacher stands in the center of the circle. He points to a student and calls a number, say, five. The student must name the following number - six standing nearby - seven and so on in a circle up to 10 or 20. The one who does not cope is out, and you name the next number and point to another student.

This is a very famous game for learning English counting. It is better to use it for an adult audience.

The essence of the game: Participants sit in a circle and count up to 100, calling the numbers one by one. The difficulty is that the number 7, as well as all numbers in which there is a seven (17, 27, etc.), as well as all that are divisible by 7 (14, 21, etc.) must be replaced with the word buzz . You can also set the rhythm of the game by tapping it with a pencil. If the participant of the game made a mistake, he leaves, and the rest start over. Let's see how many times your students count to a hundred and whether there will be winners.

• Collect phone number

The following counting game is suitable for elementary grades. It is designed to work out numbers from 1 to 10.

You will need cards with numbers from one to ten - several of each and a box or bag.

The class is divided into teams. Each team writes down the phone number of one of the participants on a piece of paper. The task of the team is to collect and name the phone number. Team members draw cards with numbers from the bag, if they need a number for a phone number, then the child must name the number in order to pick it up. Unsuitable cards are returned to the bag. Each team makes a move in turn. The winner is the one whose members are the first to collect their phone number and call it.

• Digital groups.

This game is for elementary school and for big groups. Turn on the music, let the children walk freely around the classroom. Turn off the music and say a number - for example, three. The children should get into groups of three. Those who failed to do so, and those who gathered in a group consisting of more or less participants, are eliminated. This game is very fun, however, when playing it for the first time, children can even fight)))) Then they become smarter and do not try to squeeze into an already formed group, but look for those who are not yet in the group. You just need to explain to them well what not to do.

• Two languages.

The following English score game is designed for elementary school. Children sit in a circle and count each other. The difficulty is that they must count alternately in Russian and English:

one - two - three - four, etc.

Think it's easy? Try it yourself. This is a knockout game. Whoever made a mistake is out of the game. After the children can count to 10 or 20, invite them to try reading from ten to one in the same way. Since children drop out very quickly, you can come up with tasks for them on cards in the form of two numbers, for example, 3 - 7 (4 - 10, 2 - 6, etc.), counting from three to seven in English, the child can return to the game.

I hope these games for learning English counting will be useful in your practice and your students will like it

Being able to count in English is just as important as speaking. In any tourist country, all sellers, taxi drivers, hotel staff have an account up to 20. Are you worse or what? In general, you understand what's what. To learn how to count to a million in English, you need to learn only 31 words. But everything is in order. In this article, we will learn how to count up to 20.

In Russian, to learn numbers, you need to know over 100 words. The same rules apply in English counting, but it is worth mentioning a couple of important points that will greatly facilitate the process of learning numbers and numbers for you:

• In English, unlike Russian, numbers are not declined by gender. If we have “two thousand”, but “two million”, then it is the same here that “two thousand”, that “two million”
• They do not decline in cases, that is, the endings do not change. Instead of "thousand - thousand-thousand-thousand ...", to the whole simple word "thousand"
• Also, instead of "1 million - 2 million - 5 million", it all comes down to using one word "million" and no additional endings
• There are no personal names for hundreds. Instead of "two hundred" there will be "two hundred", instead of "six hundred" the Englishman will say "six hundred", etc.
• And fifthly, there are much fewer exceptions in the English account.

Well, now let's move from theory directly to practice: The numbers from one to ten are the basis of the basics!

Numerous numbers are based on basic numbers - from 1 to 9, you can also include 0 and 10 here. You just have to memorize these numbers:

Number	English	Translation	English transcription
	One	One		[one]
	Two	Two		[that]
	Three	Three	[θri:]	[snip]
	four	Four		[pho]
	Five	Five		[five]
	Six	Six		[syks]
	Seven	Seven		[sevn]
	Eight	Eight		[ate]
	Nine	Nine		[nein]
	Ten	Ten		[ten]

Further, the next numbers 11 and 12 are the very few exceptions from the first 20. They also need to be remembered. Then everything is much easier. From the 13th to the 19th, the same “number (from 3 to 9) + teen” is formed in the same way. For example, six + teen = sixteen. Just like in Russian thirteen, fifteen. That's -11 is -teen. The number is written together, but read with an emphasis on the last syllable.

Number	English	Translation	English transcription	Transcription in Russian letters
	Ten	Ten		[ten]
	Eleven	Eleven		[ilevn]
	Twelve	Twelve		[tuelv]
	Thirteen	Thirteen	[‘θə:tin]	[shochin]
	Fourteen	Fourteen	[‘fo:tin]	[fotin]
	Fifteen	Fifteen	[‘fi:ftin]	[fiftin]
	sixteen	Sixteen	[‘sikstin]	[sykstin]
	seventeen	Seventeen	[‘sevtin]	[seventeen]
	Eighteen	Eighteen	[‘eitin]	[eytin]
	Nineteen	Nineteen	[‘naintin]	[nineteen]
	Twenty	Twenty	[‘twenti]	[tuenti]

Here, too, there are minor changes. In pronunciation, they are not noticeable, but in writing it is worth paying attention to changes in the root:

• 13: spelling "three" is modified to "thir"
• 15: in the second syllable "five" v changes to f, and the letter "e" disappears
• 18: when adding the suffix "teen" to "eight", the appearing letter t is not duplicated, but replaced with a single

In fact, the ending "teen" is a full-fledged word, meaning the age from 13 to 19 years old.

It should be borne in mind that Russian pronunciation (transcription) is only an approximate sound, the specifics of the sound of English numbers cannot be 100% conveyed.

How to teach a child to count in English?

As soon as you start teaching your children English, it also needs to be taught and counted. Be sure to do this through the game to instill in him a love and desire for learning the language. Here are some ways to teach your child to count in English:

• Buy or download number cards from the Internet. It is better if on each of them it will be written in letters and with pronunciation. Lay out the pictures on the floor. Say the number in English, and let the child bring you the right card or point to it
• The previous game, only the adult already calls the number in native, and the child takes a card with a number and calls it in a foreign
• Take the ball. Stand opposite, and throwing the ball into the hands of the child, call the numeral in a foreign language, and the child, returning the toy to you, says it in his native
• The game "Who has more." Turn the cards upside down, and at the same time pull out one picture at a time with the baby. Say the number in English. Whoever has more gets both cards. And so on until the end. Whoever has the most wins
• Ask the child to draw numbers, give them human features - eyes, hands, and their name will be the name of the number
• Use fun counting rhymes that kids can easily remember
• Another option is the Crocodile game, but instead of words, the child must turn into a number
• You can also ask your child to draw a number that you say in the air.
