Skip Counting by Twos to 100 with Dance Moves

Have Fun Teaching

This energetic animated music video teaches students how to skip count by twos all the way to 100. Set to a catchy, rhythmic pop beat, the video features a diverse cast of colorful, animated characters who lead viewers through dance moves and physical exercises while chanting numbers. The video breaks the counting process into manageable sections, first counting to 50 on a classroom chalkboard, and then restarting to count from 2 all the way to 100 with increasing excitement. The content focuses on two primary themes: mathematical fluency through skip counting and physical engagement through movement. The lyrics explicitly define the numbers being counted as "even numbers," helping students connect the abstract concept of skip counting to the property of parity. The video uses visual cues like falling blocks, chalkboard writing, and popping text bubbles to reinforce number recognition alongside the auditory chanting. For educators, this video is an excellent tool for "brain breaks" or active learning sessions. It combines kinesthetic activity (clapping, stomping, getting up and down) with rote memorization, making it particularly effective for students who struggle with sitting still during math instruction. It can be used to introduce the concept of even numbers, practice the 2-4-6-8-0 pattern in the ones place, or simply build fluency in counting to 100.
