Number "10" Coloring Pages

Number "10" is "Jyu"

The number on this coloring page is Number "10". You read it as "Jyu".
Color in the big Number "10" at the top right, trace the light Number "10" below it, and count the chicks on the left!
On just one page, you can do three things together: color, trace, and count.
If you say "Jyu" out loud as you go, you can learn the number and how to read it at the same time!

10 Chicks

On the left side, there are 10 chicks.
Point with your finger and try counting out loud: "1, 2, 3..."
If the last number you count is 10, you got it right!
It is also a great idea to color the chicks one by one after you count them.

What kind of animal is a chick?

A chick is a baby chicken. Chicks that just hatched from eggs are covered in fluffy yellow feathers.
Chicks chirp "piyo piyo" as they walk behind their mother chicken. When they grow up, they turn into white or brown chickens.

Let's count with "Wa"

Birds like chicks are counted as "1 wa, 2 wa, 3 wa" using "wa". The word "wa" is written with the Kanji character for "wing".
The way you count things changes depending on what they are. That is one fun thing about Japanese!
Try thinking with your family about how to count different things around you.

Let's find Number "10" around you

If you put both hands together, you have 10 fingers. There are also 10 bowling pins!
Look around your home or when you go outside to see if any groups of 10 are hiding.
When you find one, point your finger and say "10!"
It is also fun to look for things with the Number "10", like the 10th day on a calendar or 10 o'clock on a clock.

Take a close look at the shape of Number "10"

Number "10" is made of a "1" that looks like a stick and a "0" that looks like an egg side by side.
If you remember the shape by matching it to something else, it is easy to remember the number!
Think about what it looks like to you.

Collect them all from 0 to 10

The number coloring pages come in the same style from 0 to 10.
If you color them one by one in order, you will slowly learn how the numbers look, how to read them, and how big the numbers are.
For tracing, it is a good idea to try tracing with your finger together with a family member at first.

Color the Big "Number "10"" in Your Favorite Color

The big "Number "10"" at the top right is the main star of this coloring page.
Try coloring it with your favorite color. Bright colors like red, orange, or yellow will really make it pop!
The trick is to color slowly and carefully so you stay inside the black lines.

Trace Over the Light "Number "10""s

In the boxes below, there are 8 light gray "Number "10""s lined up.
Try tracing them slowly with a pencil or crayon, going from top to bottom.
Start slowly! Once you get used to it, you will be able to write a little faster.
After you trace them, it is a great idea to try writing "Number "10"" by yourself in the empty spaces next to them!

How to Color the Chicks

Color the chicks yellow. If you color their beaks and feet orange, they will look super cute! Out of the 10 chicks, it is also fun to color just 1 chick in a different color and play a searching game.

Stroke Order for "Number "10""

To write "Number "10"", write "1" first, and then write "0" to its right. Draw the "0" starting from the top, going counter-clockwise in a circle, and close it at the end.
When you trace, try to remember this order as you write.
Writing it in the right stroke order helps it look neat and pretty.

Count as You Color

When you color the pictures on the left, try counting out loud "1, 2..." every time you color one.
When you finish coloring, if your last number is "10", you did it perfectly!

Number "10" is the number of fingers on both hands

Number "10" is the number of fingers on both hands.
Open your hands wide! When you add 5 fingers on your right hand and 5 fingers on your left hand, you get 10.
People say we count things in groups of 10 because we have 10 fingers.

The first 2-digit number

Number "10" is made of two numbers, "1" and "0".
You could write numbers from 1 to 9 with just one number, but from 10, you use two numbers.

Chicks chirp from inside their eggs

Before they hatch, chicks sometimes chirp "piyo piyo" from inside their eggs.
Mother chickens also chirp to talk to their eggs.

Written as "十" in Kanji

"十" looks like a cross where a side-to-side line and an up-and-down line meet.
Try to find Kanji numbers on calendars or shop signs.
When you become a first grader, you will learn Kanji numbers at school, too.
