Guest Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Does anyone know a number rhyme that can be used for the concept of finding more or less? My brain is fried and I can't think of anything! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 The word fried reminded me of the excellent web site from priory woods. I think on there you can watch sausages going pop and bang. Hope it helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 5 little speckled frogs 5 little men in a flying saucer 10 in the bed 10 fat sausages ... these all count down, so finding one less (or 2 less for the sausages one). As for counting up/finding one more .... ummmm?! I'm sure others can add more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Here's a made up rhyme that might help: One little scarecrow wondering what to do, along came another and then there were two. Two little scarecrows happy as can be along came another and then there were 3. 3 little scarecrows standing near the door along came another and then there were 4. 4 little scarecrows dancing a jive along came another and then there were 5. less than: 5 little firemen standing in a row, 1 2 3 4 5 they go. Hop on the engine with a SHOUT, quick as a wink the fire is out. 4 little firemen standing in a row 1 2 3 4 ssh they go, hop on the engine with a SHOUT, quick as a wink the fire is out. 3 Little firemen standing in a row 1 2 3 ssh ssh they go, hop on the ngine with a SHOUT, quick as a wink the fire is out. 2 Little firemen standing in a row, 1 2 ssh ssh ssh they go hop on the engine with a SHOUT quick as a wink the fire is out. 1 little fireman standing all alone, 1 ssh ssh ssh ssh he goes, hop on the engine with a SHOUT quick as a wink the fire is out. Others: 5 little speckled frogs, 5 little ducks went swimming one day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Not sure of accuracy of all the words but a counting on one is "An elephant went out to play upon a spiders web one day the elephant had so much fun he called for another elephant to come. Two elephants........! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narnia Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 5 little penguins sitting on an iceberg, far far away in a stormy sea If one little penguin fell into the water (make a SPLOOOOOOOOOSH sound here!!) how many penguins would there be?? etc, until all are gone and then: there's a lonely little iceberg floating in the water all on its own in a stormy sea if one little penguin jumped onto that iceberg how many penguins would there be?? and carry on until you have enough penguins!!
