Counting to 5

Count up to 5 things, touching each one once and saying one number for each.

Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 1

Let's count ladybugs! Touch each ladybug one time, and say one number for each one: 1, 2, 3. There are 3 ladybugs!
Your turn! Tap each flower one time to count it.
Each one gets just one number. Don't skip one, and don't count one two times!
Your turn! These butterflies are all mixed up. Tap each one to count it.
Try it with a grown-up! Count 5 spoons, 5 socks, or your 5 toes. Touch each one as you say its number.
