60 simple and funny counting rhymes for kids

What are rhymes and why are they needed

Counters are funny children's poems that help you choose a driver in the game or split into two teams. Usually, one participant recites a poem, pointing to the others in turn, and the one on whom the counting session ends turns out to be “water”.

Sometimes they do it differently: at the end, not the driver comes out, but one of the players - and so on, until the one who will drive remains. For counting rhymes, rhythm is very important, therefore, in their texts, one often finds score (“One, two, three, four, five, a bunny came out for a walk”) or repeated words (“Aty-bats, soldiers went, aty-bats, to the market”).
