What do you do?

3. Go over instructions together. Ask learners to write their first name and “number name” on the back of the picture puzzle piece.
4. Ask the whole group to line up at one end of the room in order of their number. To get the group started ask, “Who has the smallest number name?”
5. When everyone is lined up, ask learners to call out the number name to check if the order is correct.
6. Put all the puzzle pieces on a table. As a group, try to put the picture puzzle together.
