Alternatives<br />
• If you have a larger class, you can add another group to the numbers and colours, for<br />
example, animals. The teacher then calls out three words – for example, ‘5, blue, tiger’ –<br />
and the children swap three cards.<br />
• When the children have all swapped cards, they can put them face down and the class<br />
can try to remember which child has which card.<br />
• Put all the cards face down on the floor (with the number/colour facing the floor).<br />
Children take it in turns to turn up two cards. If they can say the names correctly, they<br />
keep the cards. If not, the cards are put back in the same place.<br />
NO RESOURCES?<br />
You can use old newspaper or scrap paper rather than card. Or you could also give each child a<br />
colour or number that they have to remember. When the teacher calls a number and colour, the<br />
children with these words come to the middle of the circle and say, ‘I am red’ and ‘I am 12’ and so<br />
on. They then swap words rather than cards.<br />
