In order for students to use the natural numbers in ordinal aspect, we do the activity "The Train" with 5-6 year old children. The activity consists of a student who must communicate by writing the position of an object. The object is hidden in one of the carriages of a train. The classmate has not seen where that object has been introduced. The strategy for winning the game is counting and using of ordinal numbers, in the creation of the message and in its interpretation. We analyze the implementation of this strategy by the children, the results and how to carry out the process of communication with families when developing these activities in the classroom.
