Recite the following original poem with the children:Zero the HeroI'm Zero the Hero, oh, marvelous me.When you look at numbers,I know that you'll seeHow very important zero can be.Before you count anything, even one,You have zero, nothing, none.If you count backwards, three, two, one,You can say zero to show that you're done.When you add zero, it's very strange,The number you started with doesn't change.In subtraction it's also true,Take away zero and you get nothing new.I'm Zero the Hero, oh, marvelous me.When you look at numbers,I know that you'll seeHow very important I can be.
