1 mouth to guard,
1 tongue to keep in check
as I talk;
1 nose
that goes
in front
as I walk.

Good! Lord Nelson, one eye one arm one . .. . I assume you will be going down the numbers, lots of material hey? Theoretically you can't run out of numbers . .. . yes and makes one think of that Christmas song, on first day of Christmas my truelove gave to me . .. .

See you Riannon! Tom

Thanks, Tom. I don't know how far I'll get as to do it simply for chldren may get hard with bigger numbers, but it seemed a good challenge-idea. One year I did a different letter of the alphabet for Dec 1-26, little verse and each line beginnning with that day's letter. That was speciafically related to anticipating Christmas and the salvation sent. Rhiannon

My little granddaughter loves the song ...

One finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg,
one nod of the head, keep moving
One finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg,
one nod of the head, keep moving
One finger, one thumb, one arm, one leg,
one nod of the head, keep moving
We’ll all be merry and bright.

Perhaps we could put your words to music, Rhiannon, and bring a bit of variety to my repertoire.

Thanks, what an idea! This is really a bit of investigative fun these days, but children do like the gradula understanding of numbers in all that is around them! Rhiannon
