Five Little Speckled Frogs
Count down from 5 frogs to 1 frog
Five little speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious grubs - yum, yum
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Now there are four green speckled frogs - glub, glub.

Vocabulary of measurement and comparison
Young children’s sense of time is very concrete, so beginning to use words such as longer/ shorter, taller/ bigger, smaller/wider, heavier/lighter in context to their play is helpful. They even begin to (slowly!) understand “two more minutes” especially when to their benefit (like at bedtime! In doing so, young children show a not-yet-mature concept of minutes, but they do know that more and minutes put together creates a delay!
