Hello everyone! Are you ready to have some fun with numbers? Today we are going to learn how to count from 1 to 10. We'll be using some fun and interactive activities to help us remember, so get ready to join in!
We're going to start with a quick warm-up activity to get our brains in gear. Let's all stand up and stretch our arms out wide. Can you count how many fingers you have on each hand? That's right, five on each! Let's wiggle them around and get ready to start counting.
Now we're going to learn a counting song. It goes like this:
Verse 1: One, two, three, four, five, Counting numbers, come alive!
Chorus: Let's count together, loud and clear, It's time to start, no need to fear!
Verse 2: Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, Counting numbers, once again!
Chorus: Let's count together, loud and clear, It's time to start, no need to fear!
Next, we're going to play a fun counting game. I'm going to hold up some fingers, and you have to count how many there are. Let's start with one finger. How many fingers am I holding up? Yes, just one! Now let's try two fingers, and so on.
Great job everyone! You've all done a fantastic job of counting from 1 to 10. Keep practicing and soon you'll be counting all the way to 100!
