Counting numbers with rhymes


Rhymes are a very fun way to learn vocabulary, besides it can help to work rutines. Children love rhymes and they can learn rutines and skills.
Let's learn this fragment of the rhyme "One, Two, Buckle my Shoe". Children will learn to count numbers.

One, two, tie my shoe.

Three, four, shut the door.

Five, six, pick up sticks.

Seven, eight, stand up straight.

Nine, ten, count again!

At first, we say the rhyme doing all the actions described in it, and encouraging the children to join in.
Then, together with the children, we say the rhyme and act it out.

Now, let's sing a fun numbers song called "Ten Little Numbers", to count from 1 to 10 with a very catchy tune.


With the game "How many apples", we can learn to count from one to ten and to ask using the question phrase "How many" to response with numbers.  Click on the link below:

  1. Hi NĂºria!

    As you say the rhymes are very helpful, because they are very repetitive and students learn a lot with them.
    Furthermore, they are greatly help the explanations you have given about the steps that must be taken in the activity. Moreover, the website that you added is very interesting for both children and teachers.

    Kind regards!
