While they are on task monitor them closely. When they finished ask them to check their answers with other pairs and groups. At the end give them answer key to check how many right answers they have got. At the end of the stage drill the ordinal numbers chorally and individually (specially the difficult ones).
Give each student a tag with an ordinal number from first to twelfth and the related month of the year written on it. Take them out, make a circle and start ball game with them. Start the game by saying your month then choose a number and throw the ball toward him/her. He/she catches the ball and repeats his or her month loudly and then he/she choose another number and throws the ball towards him/her. They practice telling the month of the year while they throw the ball to each other.
