Some of you will
be celebrating 100 days of school very soon. Many of you won’t get there until next month, so you can
just tuck these ideas away until then.
Zero the Hero
Number Stomp (Just for FUN CD)
I am Zero the Hero
and I’m here to say,
I love to do
numbers every 10th day.
When we make sets
of ten we’ll stomp the ground.
And when we reach
100, we’ll sit back down!
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, 10 (Stomp!).
Let’s count
another ten.
11, 12, 13, 14,
15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 (Stomp!)
Two tens, let’s go
some more…
Three tens, you’re
catching on.
Four tens, you’re
doing fine.
Five tens, you’re
half way there.
Six tens, you’re
on a roll.
Seven tens, what a
cool game.
Eight tens, you’re
doing great.
Nine tens, we’re
near the end.
Ten tens is 100,
now it’s time to sit down!
Activities: Stand like a super hero with feet out
and hands on hips. Point to
numbers on a chart or hold up fingers as you sing.

Children can make
their own Zero the Hero with a sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. (They’ll need some assistance so work
with a small group at a time.)
Make two tears from the top about 1/3 of the way down. Make one tear from the bottom as
shown. Squeeze the top side
sections to create arms. The
center section can be molded into a head.
The bottom strips can be molded into legs. Make a cape for your hero from paper or fabric.
*Let children
write or tell stories about what they would do if they were Zero the Hero.
