What is a counting rhyme
A counting book is a short rhyming poem that is used to determine the leader in children's games. The meaning in counting rhymes is not so important; sometimes meaningless made-up words are used in them, as long as the rhyme is observed and it is easy to remember.
Many counting rhymes are so popular with children that they are taught simply as funny rhymes.
Here is a selection of rhymes for children of different ages.
The most famous nursery rhymes
Counting book Bunny
The author of the counting rhyme about a bunny is Fedor Bogdanovich Miller. This poem had no title, and was written in 1851, and published in 1880. The little rhyme about a bunny became famous after it was included in school reading books.
Original version:
One two three four five,
The bunny went out for a walk.
Suddenly the hunter runs out,
The gun shoots at him.
Bang Bang! Oh oh oh!
My little bunny is dying.
The second version of the rhyme about a bunny appeared because people really wanted to soften the cruel plot.

The bunny went out for a walk
Suddenly the hunter runs out,
Shoots straight at the bunny

They brought him home
He turned out to be alive.

The author of the rhyme about 10 Little Indians is Agatha Christie. This poem was published in her detective novel of the same name. According to the plot, the text of the rhyme hung in every hotel room of the heroes of the novel.

One choked, there were nine left.
Nine little Indians, having eaten, nodded off,
One couldn’t wake up, there were eight of them left.
Eight little blacks went to Devon later,
One did not return, only seven remained.
Seven little black boys chopped wood together,
One killed himself - and there were six of them left.
Six little black boys went for a walk in the apiary,
One was stung by a bumblebee, there are five left.
Five little black boys did the judging,
They convicted one, leaving four.
Four black girls went swimming in the sea,
One took the bait, leaving three of them.
Three little blacks ended up in a menagerie,
One was grabbed by a bear, and the two were left alone.
Two little black boys lay down in the sun,
One burned down - and now there is one, unhappy, lonely.
The last little black man looked tired,
He went and hanged himself, and there was no one left.

The dragonfly has arrived
Like pea eyes
And she herself is like a helicopter,
Left, right, back, forward.
In the morning the butterfly woke up
Smiled, stretched,
Once she washed herself with dew,
Two - she spun gracefully,
Three - bent down and sat down,
And four - flew away.
One two three four five.
The fingers went out for a walk.
This finger found a mushroom
This finger is a clean table.
This one cut, this one ate,
Well, this one just looked.
Number counters

Mice lived in an apartment.
A friend himself got into the habit of visiting them
The cross spider is a large spider.
Five, six, seven, eight,
We'll ask the spider:
“You glutton, don’t go!”
Come on, Mashenka, drive!
One day the mice came out
See what time it is.

The mice pulled the weights.
Suddenly there was a terrible ringing sound -
The mice ran away.

Who lives in our apartment?
Dad, mom, brother, sister,
Murka the cat, two kittens,
My puppy, cricket and me -
That's my whole family!

I'll start counting everyone again.

So that it doesn't go out.
Stay at your hem
Look into the field

Yes, they eat rolls.
Look at the sky -
There's a crust of bread there.
One, two, don't be a crow,
Run like fire.

Little pigeons were flying
By early dew,
Along the green lane.
There are apples, nuts,
Honey, sugar, -
Get out, baby!

On the hill is Dubrovka,
There is a queen in Dubrovka,
Red maiden,
Honey, sugar,
Get out, little king!
There was a grandmother coming from overseas,
She was carrying a box.
In that box
There were mushrooms lying
To whom - a mushroom,
To whom - two,
And for you, child,
The whole box.
Over the seas, over the mountains,
Behind the iron pillars
There is a tower on the hill,
There's a lock on the door,
Go get the key
And unlock the lock.
