Counting to 10 for Kids: Count Objects One by One (Kindergarten Math)

Hi, I'm Luna from DoodleBeez. Today we are learning how to count. Counting tells us how many things there are.

Here is the most important rule. Touch each thing one time, and say one number for each one. Let's count these stars. One, two, three, four.

The last number we say tells us how many. We said four last, so there are four stars.

Let's try a bigger group. These fish are swimming all over the place. When things are mixed up, counting is tricky, so we go in a line, left to right, and don't skip any.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven fish!

Here is a trick for counting lots of things. Count in rows. Count the top row first, then keep going on the next row without starting again.

One, two, three, four, five. Then six, seven, eight, nine, ten. There are ten flowers.

Now it's your turn. How many balls are here? Pause the video and count them. Ready? One, two, three, four, five, six. Six balls!

Great counting! Remember, touch one and say one, go in a line, and the last number tells you how many. Practice counting in the Math Lab at doodlebeez.com. See you next time!
