Get your fingers wiggling in these fun number songs

What to do 

  1. Use your fingers to count along with as you sing. 
  2. Two quick, simple song ideas are: 

‘10 little ….’ This song is great as you can make up what you would like to sing about! 

One little, two little, three little ... 
Four little, five little, six little ... 
Seven little, eight little, nine little ... 
Ten little … 

Standing in a row (This can be changed to anything so if your song is about planes, you might sing “Flying in the sky.”) 

 

‘One, two, three, four, five, once I caught a fish alive’ 

One, two, three, four, five, 
Once I caught a fish alive 
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten 
Then I let him go again 
Why did you let him go? 
Because he bit my finger so 
Which finger did he bite? 
This little finger on my right 

Good to know 

You’ll find ‘One, two, three, four, five...’ along with lots of other children’s favourites, on our My First Five Years YouTube channel.
