Can you count past 10? 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20! The teen numbers sound a little tricky, so let’s say them slowly.
Key idea
After 10 come the teens: 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, then 20.
For the grown-up: Count to 20 while you brush teeth or wait in line. When counting things, make a group of 10 first, then count on: “10 … 11, 12.” Don’t worry if the teens take a while. Stop while it is still fun. Then go and play the real-life version.
- Try it at home: Count 20 steps on a walk.
- Count toes and fingers together: 20!
- Count 20 jumps, slow and steady.
