Ordinal Numbers Song
A fun song I use to teach the ordinal numbers to my k-3 classes. Teach the difference between ordinal and cardinal numbers and have your students try to sing along!

Those are the ordinal numbers
Cardinal numbers tell us how many or how much of something we have
For example, this bag has ten cookies in it
Ordinal numbers tell us what position or place something is in
For instance, you might line up the cookies to eat them one at a time
Here's the first cookie
Here's the tenth, and last cookie
Those are the ordinal numbers
Those are the ordinal numbers
Those are the ordinal numbers
and they go just like this
Now you say them
First, second, third, fourth
fifth, sixth, seventh
eighth, ninth, tenth
