Count by 5

Exercise and Count by 5's is a classroom hit across the world. It's cool Latin beat makes it easy to exercise and count by 5.

The exercises of stretching their arms and legs across the mid-line of their bodies help kids with engaging both their bodies and their minds.

Making exercise and learning fun for kids is important for their physical and emotional growth. Exercise and Count by 5's does this beautifully as well as develop children's gross motor movements.

Follow along with me and count by 5 out loud and exercise.

Count to 100 in Spanish

Let's Get Fit (Count to 100 by 1's) is one of the most popular educational songs in my library. Teachers love how the song gets kids up and moving while learning to count to 100. They also love the video because it shows the movements for kids to follow along and has the numbers appear large and clear on screen.

This version takes all the things teachers love and teaches kids the Spanish pronunciations. The numbers are still displayed large and clear on screen as children hear the number called out in Spanish.

The exercises directions are also called out in Spanish and shown in Spanish on screen, so children can see the words and how they are spelled.

Watch it here.

With all the excite from the day you can use this video as a brain break to get those wiggles out. Children move and grove with four different dances. The song is a smooth melodic beat with a calming tone.

The song can be found on the CD, Every 1 Counts.

The CD is full of brain breaks, calendar skills, patterning songs and more math songs.
