Number Formation Rhymes

[Guest]

I was working with a supply teacher last term who had some lovely little rhymes to help children to remember how to write each number but I never got round to asking her what they were or writing them down and no I can't remember them!- does anyone know of any?

[Guest]

I know which ones you mean Iv'e got them somewhere. I will have a search for you. This Pdf is worth a look for some good number activities.

Hi

The ones we use at pre-school are to the tune Skip to my lou, but I can only remember those for 1-5. The rest are at pre-school and I'm on sick leave at the moment.

 

Go straight down and that is all x3

To make the number 1.

 

Swing it round and then go right x 3

To make the number 2.

 

Swing it round and then once more x 3

To make the number 3.

 

Down slide, cut in half x3

To make the number 4.

 

Down, round, put on a hat x 3

To make the number 5.

 

I'll see if I can find the others.

Hope these are the rhymes you were after.

Around and round and round we go, when we get home we have a 0.

 

Start at the top and down we run, that's the way we make a 1.

 

Around and back on the railroad track, 2, 2, 2.

 

Around the tree and around the tree, that's the way we make a 3.

 

Down and over and down some more, that's the way we make a 4.

 

Down and around and a flag on high, that's the way we make a 5.

 

Around to a loop, number 6 rolls a hoop.

 

Across the sky and down from heaven, that's the way we make a 7.

 

Make an S and do not wait, when we get home we have an eight.

 

Make a loop and then a line, that's the way we make a 9.

 

 

0 - Around to my left to find my hero, back to the top, I've made a zero

1 - A downward stroke, My that's fun. Now I've made the number one.

2 - Half a heart says, "I love you." A line. Now I've made the number two.

3 - Around the tree, Around the tree, Now I've made the number three

4 - Down and across and down once more. Now I've made the number four

5 - The hat. The back. The belly. It's a five. Watch out, it might come alive

6 - Bend down low to pick up sticks. Now I've made the number six.

7 - Across the sky and down from heaven. Now I've made the number seven

8 - Make an "S" and close the gate. Now I've made the number eight.

9 - Make an oval and a line. Now I've made the number nine.

10 - One egg laid by a hen. Now I've made the number ten.

6- Come on down and make a curl. (3xs) To make the number 6.

7- Slide to the right and slant on down. (3xs) To make the number 7.

8- Make an S and go straight home. (3xs) To make the number 8.

Fabulous! Thanks!

Thanks, I am sure these will make the boring job of number formation more fun for the children as well as me.

Number 1 is like a stick,

One straight line that is very quick.

 

For number 2, go right around,

Then make a line across the ground.

 

Go right around, what will it be?

Go round again to make a 3.

 

Down and over, and down some more.

That’s the way to make a 4.

 

Go down and around, then you stop,

Finish the 5 with a line on top.

 

Make a curve, then make a loop,

There are no tricks to make a 6.

 

Across the sky and down from heaven,

That’s the way to make a 7.

 

Make a “S” and then don’t wait,

Go up again to make an 8.

 

Make a loop and then a line,

That’s the way to make a 9.

 

Make a 1 and then an 0 –

10 are all your fingers, you know
