Interactive slide intro. Reward repetitions with "Ninja Stars" on the board for the whole class.

Worksheet completion. Circulate and use the "Master Ninja Review" area to stamp/initial on-task work.
35-40m
Review & Cleanup
Quick fire count-back. Silent cleanup is the final ninja test.
Class Size Logic
- For Class of 21: Use 10 matching pairs (e.g., 11-20 or 0-9) + 1 Master Ninja Wildcard. Perfect team sizing!
- For Class of 22: Use exactly 11 pairs.
- For Class of 25: Use 12 pairs + 1 Master Ninja Wildcard.
- Batch Movement: Crucial for the 21/25-student class in a small room.
Solo Authority
Arrive early. Set clear "Ninja Bounds" immediately so students know you are in charge while the host teacher is away.
Ninja Mastery
"I can say numbers 11-20 in Spanish."
