Numbers listening exercise |
| |
This is suitable as a whole class exercise or for pupils to use individually. Pupils will see a number of objects on one slide. They have three options, and have to click on the correct number. If they have clicked on the correct one, they will see the word ‘Richtig’. If they are wrong they will see the word ‘Falsch’. Clicking on Richtig will take them to the next question, Falsch will take them back to the one they get wrong for another go. |

For pupils to practise spelling the words for numbers against the clock. Also good for developing typing skills! Suitable for individual pupils on computers only. A fast-paced, very competitive game.
