Players race to the middle, telling you (teacher) how many of whatever there are on the flashcards. Change out the 'easy' cards to make it harder/review a wider vocabulary set than you can fit on the table. You can do this as a relay race with larger groups; beware it gets noisy when they "rock/scissors/paper" in the middle!
A real challenge? Use the flashcards of items in a big picture eg textbook with a lot of objects in it, after children have asked each other "How many...?" as a memory test. Or use number cards (read the word, not the numeral) Lots of fun, even if you are 'drilling'!
Hi Jim and friends at Luna,

As an add on/extension you could ask them to "janken" with the target language, in this case "How many? instead of rock, scissors, paper. That way they get to practice even more!
