Based on the warmer, the teachers erases the actors' names and write the word form of the numbers randomly divided into two columns and put students into two groups that each one has to do the matching first to win a game. The teacher may add more numbers to the actors ages if necessary.
The teacher plays a listening track. Ss listen to numbers from 20 then in pairs they try to match the numbers with the words. after checking their work they listen again and repeat
