A cooperative counting and speaking worksheet for Starter-level English learners. Four children mime familiar actions and record their choices in a simple picture chart. The activity connects spoken language with counting and visual recording. Includes a separate teacher page with a demonstration, answer guide and accessible alternatives.
Target Vocabulary: run, read, dance; one, two, three, four
Target Language: I’m running. / I’m reading. / I’m dancing.
Activity:
- Work in groups of four with one worksheet.
- Each child chooses an action, mimes it and says the matching sentence.
- Shade one square in the corresponding row for each child, starting from the left.
- Count the shaded squares in each row.
- Say the action word and number separately, such as “Run. Two.”
Learning Goal: Record four spoken action choices visually and count the resulting groups.
Teacher’s Insight: The chart records chosen mimes, not favourite hobbies. Each child is counted once, so the completed chart contains four shaded squares altogether.
