数字 – Numbers

In both the Middle and Primary school, we’ll keep singing songs and playing games with numbers till we can recall them real quick!  Don’t forget the number rap if you need more practice!

Here’s a video by Groovi Pauli, there are some words in this video that we will be learning the characters for soon…so sing the song and you’ll have a head start!!!

We are playing a game in the Middle School, higher or lower (高还是低?) , a student picks a number from 1-99, and we have to guess what the number is by asking the following:

这个数字是………….吗?zhège shùzì shì ……..ma? (literally: This number is ………..?)

The person with the number responds with:

这个数字比……………..高/低。zhège shùzì bǐ ………gāo / dī.  (Literally: this number compared to …………..is high / low)

Weird word order I know, but that’s just the way it is said in Chinese.

The game continues till the students can work out the number.

Teach someone how to count to 99 in Chinese, it’s easy when you know how to count to ten! Then play the game.  No English allowed!
