Numbers 1-100 – Basics & Counting
This is the first step in teaching numbers — perfect for pre-A1/A1 absolute beginners who need recognition, counting, and basic use.
Use before or alongside your existing “Numbers Position” lesson (ordinals).
2 PDFs – Quick Overview

Tips
- Speak very slowly. Repeat everything 5–10 times.
- Use big gestures, smiles, thumbs up.
- Praise every try (“Good job!”, “Excellent!”, clap/cheer).
- If students are shy, let them point or whisper first.
- Keep energy high — clap, cheer, smile a lot!
Print PDF flashcards (big numbers 1–100 with pictures) and laminate if possible. Use them for pointing, saying, and counting.
Have fun — this builds confidence fast!
