This video from Basho & Friends is a delightful compilation of kids' songs designed to teach counting in English, Mandarin, French, and Spanish. By utilizing engaging melodies and vibrant visuals, the video captivates children's attention, making learning numbers an enjoyable experience. The importance of counting in multiple languages cannot be overstated, as it lays a foundational skill for language acquisition while enhancing cognitive development. Songs serve as an effective tool for memorization, allowing children to grasp new vocabulary in a playful context.Activities to use at home or in the classroom:- Sing Along: Encourage children to sing along with the video, reinforcing their counting skills while practicing pronunciation in different languages.- Counting Objects: Use everyday items (like toys or snacks) and ask children to count them out loud in the language of their choice.- Flashcards: Create flashcards with numbers and their corresponding words in each language, allowing children to match the numbers with their names as they sing.
