Hi there! Today, we are going to have fun learning something called ordinal numbers. These numbers help us know the order of things, like who came first in a race or which day of the month it is. Are you ready to learn? Let’s go!
First, let’s stretch our arms as wide as we can. Now, repeat these numbers after me:
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th.
Great job! These numbers tell us the order from first to tenth.
Now, let’s do some leg squats. Ready? Say these numbers with me:
11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th, 19th, 20th.
Awesome! These numbers help us know the order from eleventh to twentieth.
Let’s twist our bodies and say the next set of numbers:
21st, 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 25th, 26th, 27th, 28th, 29th, 30th, 31st.
Fantastic! Now you know how to count all the way to the thirty-first place.
Ordinal numbers are super helpful! They tell us the exact position of things. For example, if you are in a race, you might finish in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd place. Or, if you look at a calendar, you can see what day it is, like the 5th or 20th.
Keep practicing these numbers, and soon you’ll be an expert at knowing the order of things!
Ordinal Number Scavenger Hunt: Go on a scavenger hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects and place them in a line. Then, use ordinal numbers to describe the position of each object. For example, “The teddy bear is in the 1st position, the book is in the 2nd position, and the toy car is in the 3rd position.” Try to use as many ordinal numbers as you can!
Calendar Fun: Look at a calendar with a grown-up. Pick a month and practice saying the ordinal numbers for each day. For example, “January 1st, January 2nd, January 3rd,” and so on. Can you find a special day, like a birthday or holiday, and say its ordinal number?
Race to the Finish: Organize a small race with your friends or family. After the race, use ordinal numbers to describe the order in which everyone finished. For example, “Sam finished 1st, Lily finished 2nd, and Alex finished 3rd.” You can even make medals or ribbons with the ordinal numbers on them!
