Are these ok? Five is bigger than two./Two is smaller than five.
I want to play a game with my students to practice ‘numbers’. I’d like them to guess a number in my head such as 15. Then they need to make a guess. If they say ‘10’, can I say ‘bigger’ to let them make another guess?
Thanks

In my experiences, this game is typically played by saying “higher” or “lower” when responding to a guess.

Yes that’s an acceptable short hand for something like your guess needs to be bigger. Also the statements in your title are correct. Bigger is a word that is more informal than a word like larger. Usually in a guessing game like this we say “too high” or “too low”, but if your goal is to practice larger/smaller or bigger/smaller, that’s fine.
