Numbers in Spanish are one of the easiest places for young children to start, because counting fits into every day: stairs, snacks, toys and bath ducks. On this page your child can tap any number from 1 to 100 and hear it in Spanish and English, or press Count with me to hear a run of numbers, from 1 to 10, 1 to 20 or all the way to cien. The chart above also works as a Spanish numbers chart you can print.
Spanish numbers 1 to 10
These ten words are the foundation for everything else: uno (1), dos (2), tres (3), cuatro (4), cinco (5), seis (6), siete (7), ocho (8), nueve (9), diez (10). Say them slowly with clear vowels: cuatro is "KWA-tro", nueve is "NWEH-beh". On this page the audio is Spain Spanish, so cinco and diez have a soft "th" sound. In Latin America they are said with an "s", which you can hear on numbers in Latin American Spanish.
One small grammar note for grown-ups: before a masculine noun, uno becomes un (un perro), and before a feminine noun it becomes una (una manzana). Children pick this up by ear, so just model it.
Spanish numbers 11 to 20
The teens are where children need the most practice. Eleven to fifteen have their own names: once, doce, trece, catorce, quince. From sixteen, a clear pattern begins: dieciséis is "ten and six", then diecisiete, dieciocho, diecinueve. Twenty is veinte. Point out the pattern once your child is five or so: "Listen, dieci means ten and…".
Counting in tens and the pattern to 100
| Number | Spanish | Pattern to notice |
|---|---|---|
| 20 | veinte | 21-29 are one word: veintiuno, veintidós… |
| 30 | treinta | From 31, add y: treinta y uno |
| 40 | cuarenta | Sounds like cuatro |
| 50 | cincuenta | Sounds like cinco |
| 60 | sesenta | Sounds like seis |
| 70 | setenta | Sounds like siete |
| 80 | ochenta | Sounds like ocho |
| 90 | noventa | Sounds like nueve |
| 100 | cien | 101 becomes ciento uno |
After 30, Spanish numbers are very regular: the ten, then y ("and"), then the unit. So 45 is cuarenta y cinco and 99 is noventa y nueve. This makes counting to 100 in Spanish easier than in many languages. Once your child knows 1 to 9 and the tens, they can build any number up to 99.
How to teach counting in Spanish at home
- Count real things. Touch each grape as you say uno, dos, tres. Touching while counting teaches that each number matches one object.
- Stairs and steps. Count steps up to bed in Spanish every night. It becomes a ritual.
- Fingers. Show fingers for 1 to 10 and let your child copy. Then hide some: ¿Cuántos? ("How many?").
- Hide and seek. Count to ten or twenty in Spanish before ¡Listos o no, allá voy! ("Ready or not, here I come!").
- Songs. Many Spanish families sing "Un elefante se balanceaba", where one more elephant joins each verse. It is counting with a story.
- Use the Goli Jar. After each round, tap the jar and count the marbles together in Spanish.
Count backwards for a rocket launch: diez, nueve, ocho… ¡despegue! Children love the ending, and counting down builds number sense.
What to expect by age
At 2-3, most children say number words in a row without matching them to objects, and that is fine. At 3-4, they count up to 5 or 10 objects correctly. At 4-5, many count to 20 and recognise written numerals. At 5-6, children start seeing the tens pattern and can count to 100 with the chart. Set your child's age in the grown-up settings and the counting games adjust. For more counting practice in English, try counting 1 to 10 or the full counting 1 to 100 chart.
Counting in two languages
Bilingual children often count more easily in the language of their school, even if they speak the other language at home. That is normal. Keep counting in Spanish for home routines and let English grow at school. If your child starts in Spanish and finishes in English, smile, repeat the number in Spanish, and carry on. Short, shared sessions work best, and under-twos learn counting far better from you and real objects than from a screen.
Los números en español para niños
Contar es una de las primeras cosas que aprenden los niños. En esta tabla su hijo puede tocar cualquier número del 1 al 100 y escucharlo en español y en inglés, o pulsar el botón para contar juntos.
Del 1 al 15 los números tienen nombres propios. Desde el dieciséis aparece un patrón: dieciséis, diecisiete, dieciocho. Del veintiuno al veintinueve se escriben en una sola palabra, y a partir del treinta y uno se usa la "y": treinta y uno, cuarenta y dos, noventa y nueve. Cuenten escalones, uvas o juguetes cada día y conviertan los números en un juego.
How to use this page at home
Say it, then find it
Play for a few minutes, then look for the same thing away from the screen: spanish words on the shelf, in the kitchen, on the way to school. A child learns a word properly when they meet it twice, once on the screen and once in their hand.
Ten minutes is enough
Short and happy beats long and tired. Stop while your child still wants more, and come back tomorrow: the same page on five short days teaches far more than one long sitting. Nothing here is scored, so there is no reason to push.
Use both languages
Tap the language button at the top to hear the words in your home language first and the second language after. Hearing the same picture named in two languages is one of the few things research agrees builds attention as well as vocabulary.
