How far can we count before we leave English behind? First we count to ten in English together. Then we try Irish. Then we guess what Spanish might sound like: the real answers come on the next cards.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Count from one to ten in Spanish
- Spot Spanish numbers when you hear them
- Notice which numbers sound like English or Irish
Here come today's ten Spanish numbers, one card at a time. English shows first: have a quiet guess. Then flip, listen to the audio, and repeat the Spanish together.
Take a bingo card from the pile. You are marking numbers on a Spanish football scoreboard (el marcador). Your teacher will call the Spanish numbers out loud. Listen carefully, mark each matching number on your card, and when you complete a full line, shout ¡Bingo! or ¡Olé! with the class.
Copy the Spanish numbers 1 to 10 from the list on the board into your copy, digit beside each word.
- 1 uno
- 2 dos
- 3 tres
- 4 cuatro
- 5 cinco
- 6 seis
- 7 siete
- 8 ocho
- 9 nueve
- 10 diez
Quick chorus first: whisper all ten numbers together. Then spin the wheel. When it lands, the whole class whispers the Spanish, and the chosen pupil says it out loud for everyone. Stuck? Phone a table once, or listen to the audio and try again.
