Numbers not only help kids count but also form the basis for understanding time, money, measurements, and everyday conversations. Introducing numbers in English through engaging activities like songs, games, and colorful visuals can make the learning process both enjoyable and effective. Whether it’s counting objects, learning to tell the time, or recognizing numbers in stories, mastering this essential skill opens doors to broader communication and practical use in real-life scenarios.
