Hello!
I would like some help with ideas on teaching phone numbers to jr. & sr. high school students in Japan. I have a brain block, and can't seem to come up with anything. Any ideas would be nice.
Thanks
Catch you later!

I guess you are trying to teach numbers and not specifically phone numbers? Usually we say the first three numbers individually and then group two numbers together. So if your phone number is
250-1844 you would say: two, five, zero, eighteen forty four.
Don't they all have cell phones? You could have them say their number out for the group and whoever was able to call them successfully gets a point or is the next person to call out their number. You could get them a list of famous people and dictate their phone numbers. Include the pictures if possible on the worksheet. I think they would be available on the Internet but you could just make them up.
Think of people that they would like to call or a list of businesses they need and give groups of four or so telephone books to find the numbers. They have to say them in English to their group and the rest copy them down and then compare their lists.
Put them in partners and give each person a different list. They pretend to call and give their phone number and the other person has to write it down. They can give their home phone, their cell phone, their business phone, their parents phone and so on.
Study area codes and have a quiz putting the codes on a blank map.
