🔢 One, Two, Three!

⏱ 5 minutes · 📚 CELTA-informed · 🎯 A1 Cambridge level

📖 From the teacher’s desk: At Merivale in Sydney, counting was everything — 16 covers on table 4, 3 bottles of Bollinger for table 12! Numbers in English felt natural to me because I used them hundreds of times a day. Children learn numbers fastest when they count real, tangible things around them.

🎯 By the end of this lesson, you can: count from 1 to 20 in English and use numbers in simple sentences.
