Counting Sheep To Sleep

Counting Sheep To Sleep is a fun preschool rhyme, perfect for circle time, bedtime routines, and counting practice with calming repetition.

Lyrics

It's time to sleep. 
It's time for bed
Get jammies on then lay down my head

But I'm not tired,
Can't fall asleep
What shall I do?
Let's count some sheep!

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Now we counted up to 10,
Still not asleep.
Let's count again!

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Night Night!
Sleep Tight!

Hints and Tips

  • Use flashcards of each number when singing the song. 
  • Create actions for each verse. 
  • Create felts of sheep to count.
