• The children can choose the words they want to remember and tell the teacher.
• You can revise numbers by using any numbers that you like, not just 1–20. So you could,
for example, use 100 –119 or random numbers.
• When the children have collected the flashcards, they can write a short story using the words
on the cards. Or they can share their words with a pair or a group and write a story together.
• The children can make the flashcards for homework and then bring them in to do the activity.
• Once revised, the flashcards can be stuck on the wall of the classroom to remind the children
of what they have done.

Draw the pictures on the board next to a number. When a child ‘collects’ a card, they have to
stand next to the picture at the board. The advantage of this arrangement is that the children only
collect one picture each. When all the pictures are taken, ask the remaining children to continue
with the activity by asking, ‘What picture does Mohammed have?’ They have to respond with the
correct word, and then Mohammed can sit down.
