Number Rhymes Make Learning Numbers as Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Learning the numbers from 0-9 is a snap with these quick and easy rhymes.  We recommend using them repeatedly throughout your day (when you do calendar, count how many kids are present/absent/want lunch, or any other time you’re counting).  With a little repetition, these poems will quickly become a helpful reminder of how to form the numbers.

Number Poems

 

 

0 – Around and around and around we go – now we have the number zero.

 

1- Straight line down and now we’re done – now we have the number one.

 

2- First you make a candy cane.  Then you put on a shoe.  Now we have the number two.

 

3- Around the tree, around the tree, now we have the number three.

 


4- Down and across and down some more, now we have the number four.

5- Short neck, belly fat, Mr. Five wears a hat.

 

6- Curve around until it sticks.  Now we have the number six.

 

7- Across the sky, down from heaven.  Now we have the number seven.

 

8- First you make an “s”, then you close the gate.  Now you have the number eight.

 

9 – First you make a circle, then you add a line.  Now you have the number nine.

    Great number rhymes. My daughter found it easier doing, “Around and around like a superhero, that’s how you make a zero”.
