Here is a kids song about ordinal numbers:

The song lyric (in Arabic with English translation):

غَنُّوا مَعِي غَنُّوا مَعِي أُنْشُودَةَ الأَعْدَاد

Sing with me, sing with me the number song

بِصَوْتٍ عَذْبٍ رَائِعٍ يَا أَيُّهَا الأَوْلَاد

With a soft wonderful voice O boys

قَالَ الأَوْلُ لِلْثَانِـي: أَنَا لَا أُهْمِلُ أَسْنَانِـي

The first told the second: I don’t neglect my teeth

قَالَ الثَّالِثُ لِلْرَابِع: أَنَا لَا أَلْعَبُ فِي الشَّارِع

The third told the forth: I don’t play in street

وَالخَامِسُ قَالَ: المَلْعَب مَا أَوْسَعَهُ كَيْ نَلْعَب

And the fifth say: how big is the playground, so we can play

والسَادِسُ يَرْسُمُ قَلَمًا وَالسَّابِعُ يَحْمِلُ عَلَمًا

And the sixth is drawing a pen and the seventh is holding a flag

قَالَ الثَّامِنُ لِلْتَاسِع: أَطْعَمْتُ القِطَّ الجَائِع

The eight told the ninth: I fed the hungry cat

وَالعَاشِرُ غَنَّى مَعَنَا أُغْنِيَةَ «النُّورِ السَّاطِع»

And the tenth sang with us “the shiny light” song

Sharing is Caring »»
