Counting

1-10 on their fingers. Have a go at it. See how fast you can do it!

Counting over 10 is easy in Japanese. It goes like this:
11 = 10 + 1 or juu-ichi or 十一
12 = 10 + 2 or juu-ni or 十二 etc
20 = 2 x 10 or ni-juu or 二 十
21 = 2 x 10 + 1 or ni-juu-ichi or 二 十一
Now write these numbers in Japanese:
30 = 3 x 10 + 1 or ______________________________________
40 =_________________________________________________
63=__________________________________________________
