Songs and Rhymes About Numbers

Here are a few of my favourite songs to teach little ones their numbers.

Five Little Monkeys
This song is best with actions. It helps to get the wiggles out. 
Five little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed

Four little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed

Three little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed

Two little monkeys jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed

One little monkey jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said
No more monkeys jumping on the bed

No little monkeys jumping on the bed
None fell off and bumped their head
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said
Put those monkeys straight to bed

Five Green and Speckled Frogs
Make some felt frogs and a log and you have a great felt story to share!
Five green and speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs
Yum yum
One jumped in to the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are four green speckled frogs
Glub glub

Four green and speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs
Yum yum
One jumped in to the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are three green speckled frogs
Glub glub

Three green and speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs
Yum yum
One jumped in to the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are two green speckled frogs
Glub glub

Two green and speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs
Yum yum
One jumped in to the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there is one green speckled frog
Glub glub

One green and speckled frog
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs
Yum yum
He jumped in to the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are no green speckled frogs
Glub glub

Five Little Peas
Another fantastic song to get the children moving
Five little peas in a pea pod pressed (five children squat down in a row)
One grew two grew and so did all the rest (children stretch their arms up)
They grew and they grew and they did not stop
Until at last the pod did pop
One two three four five (children jump up one at a time)
