Let’s start by counting all the way up to 18. Are you ready? Here we go!
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen, eighteen!
Great job! You counted all the way to 18. Isn’t that fun?
After 18 comes the number 19. But today, we are focusing on 18. Can you say “eighteen” with me? Eighteen!
Let’s look for the number 18 around us. You might see it on a calendar, in a book, or even on a clock. Can you find the number 18 anywhere in your house?
Did you know that 18 is made up of two numbers: 1 and 8? When you put them together, they make 18!
Let’s sing a little song to remember the number 18:
