Here is a counting song my kids love.....
Farmer Brown had 5 green apples, hanging on his tree
Farmer Brown had 5 green apples, hanging on his tree
He plucked one apple and he ate it hungrily,
Leaving 4 green apples, hanging on his tree.Then count backwards, but when you get to 1 green apple, change 3rd line to:
He plucked that apple and he gave it all to me,
Leaving no green apples, hanging on his tree.
