Counting to 10 with Animals

Let's count together

Counting is fun! We say numbers in a special order.

Here they are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

Let's count some animals. Point at each one as you say a number.

One, two, three

🐶 — that is 1 dog.

🐱🐱 — that is 2 cats.

🐰🐰🐰 — that is 3 rabbits.

Did you see? Each time we add one more animal, the number gets bigger.

Count up to 10

Now let's count birds all the way to ten!

🐦 1 🐦 2 🐦 3 🐦 4 🐦 5 🐦 6 🐦 7 🐦 8 🐦 9 🐦 10

You did it! There are 10 birds.

Try it at home

Look around your room. Can you find things to count?

• Count your toes. You have 10!
• Count the cups on the table.
• Count the windows in your house.

Touch each thing one time. The last number you say is how many you have.

Great job!

You can count to 10 now. That is a big step!
