Ten and Back

I know I just posted a counting song yesterday, but you can never have too many...right? This one focuses on counting to ten and back. Many of my students don't have much difficulty with the first part, but most of them struggle when it comes to counting backwards.

It’s time for a ten and back counting song
And I’d love it if you’d help me sing along.
It’s easy and fun, beginning with one,
Now let’s all give it a try:

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine,
Ten is the end - let’s go backwards, my friend,
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one,
We’ve counted to ten and back so now we’re done.

There's nothing like a new counting song to kick off a Monday morning :) I'm feeling a little groggy on this particular one, despite an early workout and a cup of coffee sitting next to me. Hopefully I'll feel a little more awake by the time my first student arrives. Have a great day!
