Numbers Help Us! Count, Measure and Choose | Kids’ Song

What's missing from our picnic blanket? We set five places for five people Cups and sandwiches take their spots Red apples wait right next to them We count each item just one time Four cups, but the fifth place is bare Counting tells us one more cup is needed Numbers show how much we have And how much we need to bring Count or measure, now we know Then we choose what fits us best The fifth cup fills the empty place Now every picnic spot is ready Two apple baskets sit together We count: more, less, or the same? We choose the one with enough to share Numbers show how much we have And how much we need to bring Count or measure, now we know Then we choose what fits us best We measure water by the cupful The timer shows the minutes left We tell our friends the exact start time Numbers show how much we have And how much we need to bring Count or measure, now we know Then we choose what fits us best Five people, one cup each — we start on time
