This document outlines a mini-class lesson plan for teaching numbers 1-10 to 6-year-old students in primary school in Argentina. The lesson will use a song to help students revise numbers and their pronunciation in English while relating the words to total physical response of counting on fingers. Activities include matching flashcards with numbers, watching and singing along to a counting song video, completing a crossword with numbers, and a dictation activity. The overall aim is for students to enjoy learning English while reinforcing numbers and linking the language to math concepts.

Introduction
This activity is for YLE living in Argentina which are studying numbers up to ten
in a state primary school.
In this miniclass on songs for YLE, they will revise numbers with teachers’ help
using TPR – counting with the fingers. Then they will match flashcards with
numbers with the chicks on the board. After that, we will watch and listen to the
video Counting 1-10 Song. Students will stand up and make a circle and all
together will sing and count with the fingers. Teachers will stick a crossword on
the board and then students will have to complete with the written form of the
numbers. Finally, the class will listen to the teacher and complete a photocopy
with numbers according to the amount of chicks.
