Preschool Ice Cream Cone Counting Lesson in English, French, Spanish, and More

ice cream cone

Use a yummy ice cream theme to teach preschoolers how to count from 1-10 in a new language.  Prepare a felt ice cream cone and ten variously colored (“flavored”) scoops.  During the lesson, continually review and add on new numbers as the ice cream cone gets bigger and bigger and bigger. After the felt board presentation, all of the children count, build, and eat imaginary ice cream cones.  Don’t forget to pantomime the whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and sprinkles!  Here are the numbers for the ice cream lesson in English, French, and Spanish:

one – un – uno

two – deux – dos

three – trois – tres

four – quatre – cuatro

five – cinq – cinco

six – six – seis

seven – sept – siete

eight – huit – ocho

nine – neuf – nueve

ten – dix – diez
