Actions:
This classic children's song works well to reinforce counting. When done in a group, everyone should get in as close to a circle as possible and put their arms over the shoulders of the people next to them. Then during the saying of each number of humps everyone bends at the knees. During the lines Boom, Boom, Boom then everyone bangs hips against each other. Nothing dangerous of course. Or to do individually, show five fingers when you sing "5 humps", then four, three, etc. Sway your hips from side to side on the "boom, boom, boom".
