TEN LITTLE ELEPHANTS

Teacher’s Notes

Target Language

Numbers 1-10

Instructions

1 If there are more than ten students in your class, divide them into groups of ten or

less. Allocate a number between 1 and 10 to each student. All the students in one

group should have different numbers (one student should always be 1). Ask all the

students to stand up.

2 As the students sing, any student whose number is mentioned sits down.

3 For the second half of the song, number the students 10, 20, 30, etc.

Variation

Instead of standing up and sitting down, they could hold up ten fingers, reveal or cover

up pictures of elephants, dance in a circle and all fall down except one student (or ten

students) at the end.

Follow up

1 The students can count in multiples of two, three, four, etc. backwards or forwards.

2 Other animals can be used instead of elephants. The students can mime the animal

and/or make the sound of the animal after each verse, or at the end of the song.
