Song Lyrics:

1 x 2 = 2
2 x 2 = 4
3 x 2 = 6
4 x 2 = 8
5 x 2 = 10
6 x 2 = 12
7 x 2 = 14
8 x 2 = 16
9 x 2 = 18
10 x 2 = 20
11 x 2 = 22
12 x 2 = 24

We multiply by two and know the score
as the beat soars and the synths roar!

It’s time... to skip count by two… Are you ready?!

2, 4, 6, 8,
10, 12, 14, 16
18, 20, 22, 24
It’s time to dance on the classroom floor!

Chorus:
Skip counting by two
is fun for me and you,
because every time we do,
we jump up and down and twist around!

Alright! It’s that time again... to skip count by two… Are you ready?! Here we go…

2, 4, 6, 8,
10, 12, 14, 16
18, 20, 22, 24
It’s time to dance on the classroom floor!

Ending:
Now, if you want to dance some more,
then click replay for the encore!
