Learning about numbers and dates
In this Year 4 spanish collection, you can practise Spanish numbers 1 to 20: uno, dos, tres. Choose a game above for a short activity, or explore the examples below before you play. The full guide for each game explains its controls, gives more examples and includes a free printable for practice away from the screen.
Talk it through
Practise a small set of words, return to them later, then use them in a phrase or exchange. Reading and matching are only part of learning a language: use a suitable spoken model and a conversation partner for pronunciation and listening practice.
Ask: “Can you use that word in a short phrase?” Give your child time to explain. Return to an example after playing and ask whether they would approach it differently.
Spanish numbers 1 to 20: uno, dos, tres
Numbers are some of the most useful words in any language: for ages, dates, prices, phone numbers and games. In Key Stage 2, children learn to count to 20 and beyond in Spanish. The numbers 1 to 15 each have their own word (⟦es|uno⟧, ⟦es|dos⟧, ⟦es|tres⟧ … ⟦es|quince⟧). From 16, Spanish builds numbers from pieces: ⟦es|dieciséis⟧ is “ten and six”, ⟦es|diecisiete⟧ is “ten and seven”, then ⟦es|dieciocho⟧, ⟦es|diecinueve⟧ and finally ⟦es|veinte⟧, 20.
Try an example: What number is ⟦es|catorce⟧?
It comes after ⟦es|trece⟧ (13).
Show the answer
14.
What to look out for
Mixing up ⟦es|doce⟧ (12) and ⟦es|dos⟧ (2). Say them slowly: ⟦es|dos⟧ has one syllable, ⟦es|do-ce⟧ has two.
Practise away from the screen
