Lyrics
Oh Yay! Oh Yay!
Take a bow
The king is coming
Riding through the town
And the queen is in her castle Counting jewels upon her crown 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10
Sail the seas
Aboard the pirate ship
The lookout is in his crow’s nest And the Pirate
Is in his cabin
Counting gold in his treasure chest 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20
Tickets please,
Hop on the steam train
The guardsman waves a flag
The conductor is in the carriage Helping people with their bags 5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50Counting down
Prepare for blast off
The Spaceman flies to Mars
As he soars through the night skies He is counting all the stars 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1
BLAST OFF!
1 2 3 4 5 - Piccolo Music
Counting Up songs are a great way of developing children's understanding that numbers are not just words, they also have value. In Piccolo's version of the traditional children's nursery rhyme "1 2 3 4 5" children learn that the "number words" have a value as you count through to five, and then ten.
Something that seems very simple to us, is a completely new learning experience for children, that is made more exciting by incorporating the learning into counting songs with music.
1, 2,3 Wave Like Me - Piccolo Music
Another great counting song for practicing counting up, this times in groups of threes, is “1, 2, 3 Wave Like Me”.
Use this as partner song in music classes, or if you're at home you can be your little ones partner. Why not try turning it into a clapping game?
How Many Legs- Counting Song - Piccolo Music
How Many Legs is one of those great songs for counting in an animal themed session. Count how many legs there are on different animals and insects, from rabbits that hop, bumblebees that buzz around to tickly spiders and more!
Not only is this children's song good for practicing counting but it is also a fun way for children to learn some interesting facts about the animals and insects, all of course while having a boogie!
