8. A counting loop does the job exactly the number of times.
At zero. It goes up by one each time round.
3. Everything inside the loop happens once each time round.
13. 9 + 4 = 13.
Too big. Bo would hop 2 times too many, so change it to 5.
Clap or hop with a grown-up and count out loud as you go. Pick a number first, like seven, and stop when you reach it. Then change the number and go again, and you have made a counting loop with your body!
Do the Mission: pick a number like seven, then clap or hop while counting out loud and stop when you reach it. Change the number and go again, and you have made a counting loop with your body.
