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

◷ 2:14

Why do we need numbers? Join two children preparing a picnic as they count each item once, compare apple baskets, measure water by the cup, and use minutes to stay on time. A playful song about making smart everyday choices.

Text from the recording’s subtitles.

Song lyrics
O que falta na toalha do piquenique? São cinco lugares para cinco pessoas A gente põe copos e sanduíches As maçãs vermelhas ficam ao lado Contamos cada coisa uma só vez Quatro copos: um lugar está vazio Contamos e vemos: falta mais um Números mostram quanto temos E quanto ainda precisamos Conte ou meça, tudo fica claro Assim fica fácil escolher O quinto copo ocupa o lugar vazio Agora os cinco lugares estão prontos Duas cestas de maçãs, lado a lado Contamos: mais, menos ou igual? Escolhemos a que basta pra todos Números mostram quanto temos E quanto ainda precisamos Conte ou meça, tudo fica claro Assim fica fácil escolher Com um copo, medimos a água O timer mostra quantos minutos faltam Avisamos aos amigos a hora exata Números mostram quanto temos E quanto ainda precisamos Conte ou meça, tudo fica claro Assim fica fácil escolher Somos cinco, um copo pra cada — na hora!
Language version lyrics
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
