Instructions for teachers
Cut up one pack of cards per class or per group of two to four students. It is more fun and challenging with all the cards, but you can remove the adjectives and/ or the “is” and “one” cards to make it easier. One student makes a question about how many (e.g. “How many boys are there?” or “How many sad cakes are there?”) with the cards and the next student makes an answer (e.g. “There are seven” or “There are six happy apples?”) to be able to draw that many of that thing on the piece of paper or the board. You can also play with some or all cards face down to add fun.
Keep all the drawings together during the game, then get students to describe what they have drawn at the end with similar language.
