Description

The ‘Wobbling Soldiers’ song is traditionally aimed at Reception children and practices rote counting to 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 & 20 in a range of fun, repetitive actions. The children become used to associating the rote counting ‘sound’ with a simple action, which will help them when counting objects at a later stage.
