Has exactly what you are looking for...plus more...but here are the number poems/chants:

Number 1

is like a stick

A straight line down

that's very quick!

For number 2

go right around

Then make a line

across the ground!

Go right around

What will it be?

Go round again

to make a 3!

Down and over

and down some more

That's the way

to make a 4!

Go down and around

Then you stop

Finish the 5

with a line on top!

Make a curve

Then a loop

There are no tricks

to making a 6!

Across the sky

and down from heaven

That's the way

to make a 7!

Make a "S"

And then don't wait

Climb up again

to make an 8!

Make a loop

And then a line

That's the way

to make a 9!

http://www.hwtears.com is a handwriting program, and in the preschool workbook she has instructions for making numbers...it's not really a poem/chant, but mostly verbal clues for children who are familiar with the program.

Just another thought.
