Song: If Love Counting and You Know It
(To If You’re Happy and You Know It)

If you love counting and you know it clap 1 time.
If you love counting and you know it clap 1 time.
If you love counting and you know it clap 1 time.
If you love counting and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you love counting and you know it clap 1 time.

If you love counting and you know it jump 2 times.
If you love counting and you know it jump 2 times.
If you love counting and you know it jump 2 times.
If you love counting and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you love counting and you know it jump 2 times.

If you love counting and you know it stomp 3 times.
If you love counting and you know it stomp 3 times.
If you love counting and you know it stomp 3 times.
If you love counting and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you love counting and you know it stomp 3 times.

If you love counting and you know it do all three.
Clap, jump, jump, stomp, stomp, stomp.
If you love counting and you know it do all three.
Clap, jump, jump, stomp, stomp, stomp.
If you love counting and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you love counting and you know it do all three.
Clap, jump, jump, stomp, stomp, stomp.

Craft: Counting Caterpillars
This week, we had an activity instead of a craft. We made a bag of counting caterpillars.They were given a set of cards, 2-7 and 10 pom-poms. They were encouraged to sit together during craft time and count by placing the pom-poms on the circles of the caterpillar’s body. Below for the entire set.
