1 - Something Changes After Ten ~5 mins
You can already count to twenty in English without thinking about it, and in a moment you will do exactly that as a class to warm up. After that, Spanish takes over from eleven to twenty, and something changes along the way.
From sixteen onwards, some Spanish numbers sound as though two smaller numbers have been pushed together into one word, so your job as you listen is to catch where that happens.
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Count from eleven to twenty in Spanish
- Spot which numbers are built from smaller parts
- Keep a spoken count going past ten
2 - Numbers to Twenty ~10 mins
English on the front. Tap the audio first, then repeat the Spanish together twice. After that, try saying it from memory before you flip.
We will meet eleven to fifteen first, pause on the pattern, then take sixteen to twenty. From sixteen onwards, listen for the piece that sounds like ten joined to a smaller number.
3 - Number Bingo ~10 mins
Your card shows the digits 11 to 20. Listen for each number in Spanish and mark the matching digit. When you finish a full line, shout Bingo.
Stay sharp once the calls climb past fifteen: the dieci- numbers can sound alike at first.
4 - Into Your Copy ~3 mins
Copy the Spanish words for 11 to 20 from the board list, then circle the ones built from two smaller numbers (hint: from 16 up).
5 - Spin, Point and Count on ~10 mins
Imagine a market stall piled with fruit, stickers or classroom chairs numbered 11 to 20. Along the top of the screen there is a number strip showing the digits 11 to 20 with the Spanish word under each one. Spin the wheel, say the number it lands on in Spanish, point to that number on the strip, then count on up to three more, stopping at veinte if you reach it. The next spin goes to someone else.
