NUMBERS - Nursery Counting Song

LEARNING NUMBERS IN ENGLISH

“ONCE I CAUGHT A FISH ALIVE”

MULTIMEDIA - ENGLISH

Take a look at this nice traditional British song for kids to practice the numbers in ENGLISH.

1, 2, 3, 4, 5
Once I caught a fish alive
6, 7, 8, 9, 10
Then I let it go again
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so!
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right

PAY ATTENTION

A fish should be IT, not HE, but in children’s stories animals are often treated as “people” (especially if they can speak) so they use HE/SHE. Anyway, this song is usually sang with IT, not HE, and on this video they say IT.
