- # 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - Numberblocks!
# One and another one is two
- # And another one is... - Me! - ..that's three
# 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 Time for some number fun
# You can count on us, we're the Numberblocks! #
Hee-hee-hee!
- Look what I've got! - ALL: Ooh!
One, two, three, four - four flapjacks.
Perfect for our picnic.
Oh... Oh! Hot, hot, hot!
Better let them cool.
Now, one, two, three, four - four plates.
Just enough for one, two, three - three flapjacks.
ALL: Three flapjacks?!
One's gone missing!
But how?
This might just be the work of...
the flapjack snaffler.
THEY GASP
What's a flapjack snaffler?
It's a strange creature made of three blocks,
with three eyes to spy out flapjacks,
three arms to grab flapjacks
and three mouths to eat flapjacks.
Nom, nom, nom!
Ah!
And there must be one hiding nearby, because there are only...
One, two, three, four - four flapjacks.
- Four? - Oh, phew!
No flapjack snafflers here.
That's what it wants you to think. It's trying to trick us.
Everyone guard a flapjack.
I think we're safe.
Really? Let's see...
One, two, four, three.
Three flapjacks! It's struck again!
ALL: Ah! The flapjack snaffler!
Something's coming!
Oh, how many eyes has it got?
One, two - three eyes!
How many arms?
One, two - three arms!
How...how many blocks?
One, two, three, four, five -
three blocks!
ALL: Ahhh! It's the flapjack snaffler!
No, it's Five.
What are you all doing?
Five!
You haven't got three eyes, or three arms.
- Whoever told you I did? - ALL: Hmm...
I counted them.
Three, do you know how to count?
Yes, of course!
Look at a bunch of things, say some numbers and then say three,
- because three's the best number. - ERROR BUZZER
There's a little more to it than that, Three.
There are some rules you have to follow.
Rule one - count everything once.
Try counting those flapjacks.
It can help to put them in a line and to point at them
one at a time to make sure you don't miss any,
or count the same one twice.
One, two, three, four.
Very good!
- Ah! Four, three, two, one. - ERROR BUZZER
Wait, one? That's not right.
Rule two - say the numbers in the right order.
If you don't say them in the right order -
one, two, three, four -
you won't know how many there are.
Oh!
One, two, three, four -
- three flapjacks! - ERROR BUZZER
Oh, we've been here before!
Rule three - the last number is how many.
When you reach the last thing to count,
the last number you say tells you how many there are.
- Try! - You can do it! - Go on!
One, two, three, four.
That's the last flapjack, so, four flapjacks?
That's right!
THEY CHEER
I did it! I know how to count!
One - count everything once.
Two - say the numbers in the right order.
Three - the last number is how many.
Three rules of counting.
Let's celebrate with flapjacks!
I've packed an extra one for you, Five.
Hang on, it's gone!
