Songs to help your little learners

Dancing 2’s is a fun way for kids to learn to skip count by 2. Children follow along doing different dances as they count to 100 by 2.

Scratch Garden / The Counting by Two’s Song

The kids also enjoy this song, helping to count by 2’s as the rocket ascends.

Prep – Work for Skip Counting Games for the Classroom

To make the center, you’ll need to download and print the free printable below.  Cut and laminate the cards so the game can be played over and over again.

To Play

There are a few different ways you can have the student practice their skip counting. Start by only giving them 5 cards so they can practice skip counting by 2’s. 2, 4, 6. 8. 10. Once they have that concept you can continue to add cards and have them place the stars in order again skip counting by 2’s.

To make it even a bit more challenging, when they are ready, have them choose a higher number to start with. For example, the student chooses 36. Then have them continue to skip count on by 2’s.

The recording sheet will help keep the students accountable for their center time.
