Most people count sheep when they cannot sleep (one sheep, two sheep, three sheep, and so on…)
* What did this man count and how many?
* What else do you want to count?
* Can you practice counting things by twos? (2, 4, 6, 8, 10)
* When you count normally by ones, how far can you count to?
Next time you can’t sleep, try counting sheep or something else and tell us in your comments whether it worked or not!

Have a happy day today!
