Ten Little Duckies

1. They all sound DIFFERENT!
2. Ten duckies. Ten squeaks. Ten different notes.
3. Line them up along the edge. Count as you go.
4. One little duckie on the edge of the bath,
5. Two little duckies making everybody laugh,
6. Three little duckies with their beaks in the air,
7. Four little duckies and there's bubbles everywhere!
8. Squeak! Squeak! Ten little duckies in a row!
9. Count 'em going up and count 'em going low!
10. One to ten and ten to one,
11. Squeak! Squeak! The counting's never done!
12. Five little duckies where the water's getting warm,
13. Six little duckies in a bubbly little swarm,
14. Seven, eight and the flannel goes splat,
15. Nine, ten and that's the end of that!
16. Squeak! Squeak! Ten little duckies in a row!
17. Every single duckie's got a squeak to let you know!
18. Ten to one and one to ten,
19. Squeak! Squeak! Let's do it all again!
20. Count them from the left. Ready?
21. Ten. Now count them from the right.
22. …It's still ten!
23. It is! You started somewhere different, and got the same answer.
24. That is one of the biggest ideas in all of counting.
25. Where you start doesn't change how many there are.
26. Two by two they go into the tide,
27. Four and six they're bobbing side by side,
28. Eight and ten and the whole row's gone —
29. Counting up in twos gets the counting done!
30. Two! CHOIR: squeak! BO: Four! CHOIR: squeak!
31. Six! CHOIR: squeak! BO: Eight! CHOIR: squeak!
32. TEN! CHOIR: SQUEEEAK!
33. Ten little duckies and they're all in the row!
34. The water's going. The duckies are going down with it.
35. Ten… nine… eight… count them down as they settle.
36. And at the very bottom — one duckie, sitting in the last inch.
37. One. The last one is always the loudest.
38. Everybody up! Duckie waddle — bottom out, feet flat!
39. Ten waddle-steps! Count 'em!
40. Now squeak on every step! Squeak-one! Squeak-two! Squeak-three!
41. Now flap your wings ten times — count backwards from ten this time!
42. Ten! Nine! Eight! …all the way down to one. And SIT.
43. Count to ten by twos. Two…
44. ADA: Two, four, six, eight, ten. You skipped and you still landed.
45. Count backwards from five.
46. ADA: Five, four, three, two, one.
47. How many duckies if I take two away from ten?
48. ADA: Eight. Two whole steps back.
49. Squeak! Squeak! Ten little duckies in a row!
50. Up and down and forwards and back and to and fro!
51. Every single number and we counted every one,
52. Squeak! Squeak! And now the bath is done!
53. Line them up on the windowsill. Facing out.
54. They're looking at the garden.
55. They're looking further than that. Squeeze the last one and listen.
56. (squeak) …It said littleactivity.com.
57. Ducks know. Goodnight, ducks.
