There are various versions out there of this familiar classic, but Victoria learned this one sometime along her magical early education journey. We find that this version can help reach more numbers in a shorter amount of time which is often appealing to older Preschoolers. Here, we accompany the song with rhythm sticks...what have you tried in your classrooms?!!

LYRICS:
The ants go marching one by one, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching two by two, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching three by three,
The little one stops to climb the tree
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching four by four, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching five by five, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching six by six,
The little one stops to pick up sticks
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching seven by seven, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching eight by eight, hurrah, hurrah
The ants go marching nine by nine,
The little one stops to check the time
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The ants go marching ten by ten,
The little one stops to say, "the end"
And they all go marching down to the ground
To get out of the rain, BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Suggested Movements:
tapping the beat on your lap, on the floor with rhythm sticks, or by marching with your feet
try adding a drum roll for "10 by 10"
consider asking children what other rhyming words can be used!
