If you have set a goal to teach your kids to count, you may look for some rhymes which contain numbers. It would be interesting to find some verses which will help you to kill two birds with one stone – that is, to entertain your children and make them repeat numbers.
Everybody remembers the poem about numbers found in the Nursery rhymes:
One, two, buckle my shoe;
Three, four, knock at the door;
Five, six, pick up sticks;
Seven, eight, lay them straight;
Nine, ten, a big fat hen;
Eleven, twelve, dig and delve;
Thirteen, fourteen, maids are courting;
Fifteen, sixteen, maids in the kitchen;
Seventeen, eighteen, maids are waiting;
Nineteen, twenty, my plate is empty.
That was a classical version. Below you will find a rhyme composed by me. It deals with the age of kids starting from 1 to 12. In a jocular way it will help your youngsters to learn to count.
