Bruce's Counting Song

To the tune of "Row, Row, Row Your Boat"
The words

Row, row, row your boat, count along with me: one and a two and a three and a four and a five is what I see! Row, row, row your boat, paddle round the bend: six and a seven and eight and a nine and a ten, and that's the end!

Hold up one finger for each number. Sing it slowly the first time, then a little faster.

Play: Count with Bruce

Tap and count from 1 to 10 with Bruce. Works on a phone or tablet, with sound.
