12.7.12

Bee, Bee

I use this chant as a counting-out game with young children until they have learned it well.  Then, I use bee icons to teach the concept of one and two sounds to a beat (Ta ti ti).

Engine, Engine

There are many versions of this song.  I like to use the first one to prepare and present one and two sounds to a beat (Ta and ti ti) with train icons.  The second one is a counting-out game I played with my friends as a child.

Dic-Dictation

This Scottish counting-out chant is great for preparing and presenting ti ticka.
