One deer, two deer, three deer, four! Five deer, six deer, seven deer, more!
Ok, there’s only five deer here. At least visible. But it still reminded me of a childhood counting game I had a lot of fun with.
I’d find something nearby that came in large numbers (usually ants) and then do some sort of rhythmic motion (usually swinging back and forth on the porch railing) while chanting.
One ant, two ant, three ant, four! Five ant, six ant, seven ant, more!
It works best when you’re counting a one syllable object. And really emphasize the “four!” and “more!” And slur together the syllables of “seven” to “se’en”. And are eight years old.
