Ordinal Number Fly Swat 1st to 20th
This simple-to-prepare activity will provide your students with lots of fun as they practise their ordinal numbers to 20. Individual students can sequence the flies in the correct order, or small groups can use fly swats to swat different numbers that are called out.
Provide small groups with fly swats to add the hands-on element to this game.
