Material:
Chairs, cards with numbers from 1-20 written on, a cd-player
Introduction:
We place as many chairs as the number of children in the middle of the classroom. We play some music and we call the pupils to run round the chairs while the music is playing. When the teacher pauses the music, the pupils have to sit on the chair that is nearest to them. Each child has to call out his/her number loudly, and he must recognize the previous and the following number.
Main part:
Then the music starts again, but this time we have removed one chair, so there is one pupil without a chair to sit on. When the music stops again, another pupil is left out. Finally only one child gets to sit on the chair. Then the teacher arranges the chairs in a disorderly way, she asks two children to place them in ascending order before the music stop.
