	One small noodle on my noodle plate. Salt and pepper, tastes just great. Mother’s going to the store. Mother, mother, get some more. Two…Three…Four… Five small noodles on my noodle plate. Salt and pepper, tastes just great. Mother, mother, I am stuffed. I think that I have had enough!	(Hold up one finger.) (Pretend to shake salt.)

Zero the Hero (“Just for Fun” CD)

I am Zero the Hero and I’m here to say,
I love to do numbers every 10th day.
When we make sets of ten we’ll stomp the ground.
And when we reach 100, we’ll sit back down!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (Stomp!).
Let’s count another ten.
11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 (Stomp!)
Two tens, let’s go some more…
Three tens, you’re catching on.
Four tens, you’re doing fine.
Five tens, you’re half way there.
Six tens, you’re on a roll.
Seven tens, what a cool game.
Eight tens, you’re doing great.
Nine tens, we’re near the end.
Ten tens is 100, now it’s time to sit down!

Activities: Stand like a super hero with feet out and hands on hips. Point to numbers on a chart or hold up fingers as you count.

Have children form a “Conga” line and dance around the room as they sing and count.
