Most students know the old counting rhyme, "One, Two, Buckle My Shoe," but most won't know it all the way to 19. Share it with them:
One, two, buckle my shoe.
Three, four, shut the door.
Five, six, pick up sticks.
Seven, eight, lay them straight.,
Nine, ten, a good fat hen.
Eleven, twelve, dig and delve.
Thirteen, fourteen, maids a-courting.
Fifteen, sixteen, maids in the kitchen.
Seventeen, eighteen, maids a-waiting.
Nineteen, twenty, my plate's empty.
Tell them they will be making up their own counting books, perhaps with rhymes, perhaps with pictures, and certainly with fun!
Think About It
