Are you looking for a fun counting rhyme to do with your preschool music class? Counting songs are a great way to teach young children basic numeracy skills. These songs are often fun, catchy, and repetitive, allowing children to learn and memorize numbers in a way that is engaging and enjoyable.
“Five Little Bears” is a very simple chant and teaches the children to count down from five with their fingers.
This song can be found in my Corduroy storybook lesson plan which has 10 musical activities.
Simply chant the words while you demonstrate counting down with your fingers.
(Counting down)
Five little bears
Heard a loud roar
One ran away
Then there were four!
Four little bears
Climbing up a tree
One slid down
Then there were three!
Three little bears
Deciding what to do
One fell asleep
Then there were two!
Two little bears
Having lots of fun
One went home
Then there was one!
One little bear
Feeling all alone
Ran to his mother
Then there were none!
