Use the chart to find out how old you are. Practise saying the ages aloud.

1 year old 2 years old 3 years old 4 years old 5 years old 6 years old 7 years old 8 years old 9 years old 10 years old 11 years old 12 years old 13 years old 14 years old

Handy Hint: Remember when you are talking about age to always use yon for number four and nana for number seven. Also, can you see how number 1, 8 and 11 are a little different to ichi,hachi and juichi? This is because these numbers change when we are talking about age. Ichi becomes iss and hachi becomes hass!
