Point with your finger and count out loud, "1, 2, 3..."
If the last number you count is "7", you got it right!
It is also fun to color the stars one by one after you count them.

What is a star?

Stars shine in the night sky. When we draw them, we often make a shape with 5 pointy tips.
Real stars look like tiny dots of light because they are so far away. But many of them are actually huge stars that shine on their own, just like the sun!

Let's count with "Ko"

Shapes like the stars on this coloring page are counted as "1-ko, 2-ko" using "ko". Real stars in the night sky are often counted as "1-tsu, 2-tsu".
It is one cool thing about Japanese that the counting words change depending on the object!
Try thinking with your family about how to count the things around you.
