What is 1-2-3?

"1-2-3 is a fun way to count and play all at once!"

Imagine you're building a tower with blocks, 1 block for your friend, 2 blocks for you, and then 3 blocks for the whole team. That’s 1-2-3! It's like a special song that helps us say numbers together.

When we say "1-2-3," we're counting in order, one number at a time. This is super helpful when you’re playing games or doing things with friends. For example, if you're jumping rope, you might shout "1-2-3" before jumping to keep the rhythm.

Using 1-2-3 helps your brain get ready for bigger numbers and more complicated counting later on, just like how learning to walk helps you learn to run. It's a fun beginning to understanding numbers!
