This song is available on Stephen Fite's Cool to Be In School.
Activity Suggestions from Stephen Fite:
Even if your kids are unable to grasp the concept of “Skip Counting,” they will as a matter
of repetition learn the intervals and lay the groundwork for learning math skills down the road.
So prepare yourself for a rollicking, rock ‘n roll ride as we skip count from 2 to 10. For a little
added fun, have the children play air guitar during the solo. You might also consider letting
kids create their own rhyming verses for each numeral.
I know a girl and her name is Sue
The other day I heard her countin' by two
And she was countin'
2-4-6-8-10-12-14-16-18-20
Countin' by two
I saw a dog chase a cat up a tree
Next time I saw him he was countin' by three
And he was countin'
3-6-9-12-15-18-21-24-27-30
Countin' by three
(Verses for Skip-Counting by 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8)
Last week in school I saw a big sign
It said you're cool if you're countin' by nine
And we'll be countin'
9-18-27-36-45-54-63-72-81-90
Countin' by nine
We're almost through but we can do it again
My favorite part is when we're countin' by ten
Come on let's count it
10-20-30-40-50-60-70-80-90-100
Countin' by ten
