Counting is Fun!
Counting is like a fun game of hopscotch with numbers!
When we count forward, we go up the number ladder (1, 2, 3...). When we count backward, we come back
down (...3, 2, 1). Let's practice both ways up to 10!
How to Count Forward and Backward
1️⃣ Forward counting: Start at 1 and say each number in order (1, 2, 3...10)
2️⃣ Backward counting: Start at 10 and say each number in reverse (10, 9, 8...1)
3️⃣ Practice both: Try counting up and down like an elevator!

Parent Tips 🌟
- Staircase counting: Count steps as you go up and down stairs together - great physical activity!
- Count everyday objects: Practice with snacks ("Let's count 5 grapes"), toys ("How many blocks?"), or anything around you.
- Make it musical: Sing counting songs forward and backward (like "10 Little Monkeys") to reinforce the sequence.
