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 every number on your card is marked, 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.
