0
Around, around, around you go.
That’s the way to make zero!
l
A straight line is fun.
It makes a one.
2
Around and back on the railroad track.
Two, Two!
3
Around a tree and around a tree
That is how we make a three.
4
Down and across,
Then down some more
That is how we make a four.
5
Down the street,
And around the corner.
Oops, I forgot my hat!
6
Down to a loop
Six rolls on a hoop.
7
Straight across and down from heaven,
That is how you make a seven.
8
Make an “S” but do not wait.
Go back up and close the gate.
9
Make a hoop and then a line.
That’s the way to make a nine.
