NUMBER RHYMES FOR KIDS

ONE TO MAKE READY

One to make ready,
And two to prepare;
Good luck to the rider,
And away goes the mare.

ONE FOR THE MONEY

One for the money,
And two for the show,
Three to make ready,
And four to go.

SEVEN BLACKBIRDS IN A TREE

Seven blackbirds in a tree,
Count them and see what they be.
One for sorrow
Two for joy
Three for a girl
Four for a boy
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret
That's never been told.

ONE FOR ANGER

One for anger,
Two for mirth,
Three for a wedding,
Four for a birth,
Five for rich,
Six for poor,
Seven for a witch,
I can tell you no more.

1, 2, 3, 4

1, 2, 3, 4,
Mary at the cottage door
5, 6, 7, 8,
Eating cherries off a plate.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5!

1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
I caught a hare alive;
6, 7, 8, 9, 10!
I let her go again.

ONE, TWO, BUCKLE MY SHOE

One, two,
Buckle my shoe;

Three, four,
Knock at the door;

Five, six,
Pick up sticks;

Seven, eight,
Lay them straight;

Nine, ten,
A big fat hen.
