Numbers are everywhere! Today we're learning how to count from 1 to 10 in German. Knowing German numbers helps when playing games, telling time, and understanding addresses in Germany.
Imagine you're at a German market counting apples or playing football and the score is zwei-eins (2-1). Numbers help you join in the fun!
By the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
- Count confidently from eins to zehn
- Hear and recognise German numbers
- Use numbers in games and counting
Here are the German numbers from 1 to 10. Click each number to hear how it's pronounced, then count along with a finger in the air!
Notice how some sound similar to English (eins like 'one', vier like 'four') - these are called cognates and make learning easier.
Time for some wheel-spinning excitement! Spin the wheel to land on a number, then everyone shout it out in German together. How quickly can we count around the class?
Great spinning! Now test your memory by matching German numbers to their English meanings. Flip the cards quickly - can you beat your personal best time?
Your teacher will hand out word search worksheets. Find all 10 German numbers hidden in the grid - work with a partner to spot them faster!
