Can you count
in English? Learn these rhymes,
and do the movements.
When you have learned
them, you can write them in your workbook.

I
buckle
my shoe.
3, 4,
I knock
on the door.

A big, fat hen.

around quickly
and sit
upon the floor.

Nod three and four,
Jump up again
And be ready
for more.
One, two and three, four, five
Once
I caught
a fish
alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
Then I let
it go
again.
Why
did you let it go?
Because
it bit
my finger so.
Which finger did it bite?
This little
finger on my right!
Suggested topics for philosophical discussion
- Why does the number 2 follow 1 and 3 follow 2 etc.? And why
do we call 2 "two" and 3 "three" etc.? Could
you find new names for the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc.?
- What does the English word "knock" mean? What does
the Norwegian word "banke" mean? Do they mean the
same thing? Sometimes the same word means different things in
different languages. One example is the word "mark".
Find out what it means in Norwegian and English. Can you find
other examples?
- These rhymes would sound very different in Norwegian. Would
your movements be different too, if these rhymes were in Norwegian?
- How do you know the difference between left and right? Are
there some things that are impossible to do if you don't know
the difference? Could you read a book? Could you play the piano?
Could you ride a bicycle or drive a car in England? Could you
explain how to walk from the school to your home? Could you
know which little finger the last rhyme talks about? Do you
think it is important to know the difference between left and
right?
