Counting Numbers 1 to 10 in Tagalog

Counting is a basic skill that children learn at a very young age. It is very easy to apply in our daily conversation as we count items around them such as toys, snacks, people, cars we see on the road, etc.

We have a few resources to share below to teach numbers 1 – 10 in Tagalog.

Books

Tagu-Taguan: A Counting Book in Filipino

Tagu-Taguan: A Counting Book in Filipino, written and illustrated by Jomike Tejido, is a Tagalog book that teaches numbers one through 10 and also various insects.

Throughout the book, it shows 10 different insects hiding in nature, and counts from 10 to 1.

Tagu-Taguan is completely in Tagalog and a great way to introduce lots of vocabulary.

Francesca: Isa, Dalawa, Sorpresa!

Francesca: Isa, Dalawa, Sorpresa!, written by Cel Tria and illustrated by Gel Relova, is a charming book about a girl, Francesca, celebrating her birthday. This is a bilingual book (English & Tagalog) that introduces learning concepts including colors, numbers, and birthday party elements. It too counts down from 10 to 1 as we learn a new element for the party. (We did a whole review of the book & e-Book of Francesca in another blog post. Read our full review here).
