Spanish for Families 1 NA – Lesson 5
We are learning to … Say how old we are, ask someone their age, practise numbers up to 69.
In this animation, you will learn how to count up to 19 in Spanish.
You can also download the PowerPoint called “Numbers”, which includes sound files, to check and practise your numbers further.
In this video, you will learn how to ask someone their age and say your age.
In the previous video, we have used some numbers higher than 19. In this animation, you will learn how to count from 20 to 69 in Spanish, so you can say older people’s age, and also do some maths in Spanish…
Watch and listen to this fun song and go over numbers in Spanish.
Make sure you invent a dance to go with the song!
Games play a big part in a child’s learning of a foreign language.
Learn the rhyme “Pito pito gorgorito”, which is the Spanish equivalent of “Eeny, meeny, miny, moe” and use it as often as you can to decide who is starting a game or doing the dishes… You will definitely need it for your Lesson 6 Cultural Activity!
Pito, pito, gorgorito,
¿dónde vas tú tan bonito?
a la era de la abuela,
pim, pam, fuera.
