Simply print the lyrics and pin them to your or your students' walls to create a useful resource.
This song can be sung slowly at first, with the children clapping their hands, and then faster as they get more comfortable with it.
One, two, buckle my shoe.
Three, four shut the door
And five six pick up sticks,
Seven, eight now lay them straight.
Nine, ten a big fat hen.
sounds pretty good, let’s do it again singing…
One, Two, Buckle my Shoe
Ten green bottles
Hanging on the wall
Ten green bottles
Hanging on the wall
And if one green bottle
Should accidentally fall
There’ll be nine green bottles
Hanging on the wall
Ten Green Bottles
You can also use one, two, three,……and so on instead of ten like “One Green Bottle”.
For Example
Hanging on the wall
Nine green bottles
Hanging on the wall
And if one green bottle
Should accidentally fall
There’ll be eight green bottles
Hanging on the wall
The ants go marching one by one (hold up one finger)
Hoorah! Hoorah!
The ants go marching one by one,
Hoorah! Hoorah!
The ants go marching one by one,
The little one stops to suck his thumb (pretend to suck thumb)
And they all go marching down to the ground to get out of the rain.
The Ants go Marching
In this song also you can use other numbers instead of one.
