DESCRIPTION: Underwater, the blue-haired mini smiley wears a diving helmet. They swim by the seabed, and two smiling pufferfish swim to them and blow bubbles. The mini smiley laughs. Each bubble has a number inside. The mini smiley sees bubble one and bubble two, and they laugh. Bubbles three and four appear. The fish swim in a circle as five and six appear.

[Song] Give me a one, give me a two, give me a smile, do it for you. Give me a three, give me a four, give me a smile, let’s count some more. Give me a five, give me a six, give me a smile, put it in the mix.

DESCRIPTION: Bubbles seven and eight float up, and the pufferfish inflate. The mini smiley stands below the bubbles for one to eight. Numbers nine and 10 float up on each side of the mini smiley.

[Song] Give me a seven, give me an eight, give me a smile, it’s all it takes. Give me a nine, give me a ten. Now you know how to count to ten. Give me a one, give me a two, give me a smile, do it for you.
