Counting Songs
Hey Guys
I am having trouble collating a nice collection of counting songs (I have a couple in ascending order and loads in descending) but I really want a few more ascending 1-10 as it seems much more important to teach younger babies to count to ten before counting backwards - if any body has some suggestions, I would appreciate it! Thanks in advance xx

I can think of just a few:
One potato, two potato,
12345, once I caught a fish alive,
1, 2 buckle my shoe,
And my favourite is that one from Sesame Street;
1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 ......11,12
Look it up on YouTube if you're too young to remember it! It had a pinball animation.

Flying sauces

Little monkeys jumping on bed
12335 once I caught a fish alive

Five little firemen,
One man went to mow
The pirate ship song (when I was one I ate a bun, the day I went to sea..)
Ten green bottles
Five little ducks
Ten fat sausages
The ants go marching one by one
One, two buckle my shoe
Ten little indians
This old man

When I was one, I just begun, (ate a bun)
The day I went to sea.
I jumped aboard a pirate ship
And the Captain said to me:
‘We’re going this way, that way,
Forwards backwards,
Over the irish (deep blue) sea.
A bottle of rum to fill my tum
And that’s the life for me’.
When I was two, I my shoe,
When I was three, I climbed a tree, (hurt my knee)
When I was four, I shut the door,
When I was five, I learned to dive,
When I was six, I picked up sticks,
When I was seven, I went to Devon,
When I was eight, I found a mate, (shut the gate)
When I was nine, I drank some wine,
When I was ten, I started again,
Words inbrackets are alternatives, for you to choose!

No we are huge Sesame Street Freaks in this house and even before I had my children I would find myself suddenly singing this catchy number some 25 years after it was first on TV!! They still show it on new episodes now!!

I don't think there is a problem with indians? Children just think along the cowboys and indian lines here-I think pc'ness can go a bit mad! Can you change indians for another word if you don't like it?!

The fireman song-
5 little firemen standing in a row 1,2,3,4,5 they go hop on the engine with a shout, quicker than a wink the fire is out.
4 little firemen standing in a row 1,2,3,4 shhh they go, hop on the engine with a shout, quicker than a wink the fire is out
Just keep replacing the number with shhh till you get to 1 little fireman standing all alone......

We have a leapfrog toy that sings the 10 little Indians song, but replaces Indians with leapfrogs, i.e. 1 little, 2 little, 3 little leapfrogs...
