What about the 4017? This is a Johnson type decade counter - you
put in a clock and each of it's 10 outputs goes high in turn. It
has the usual reset and inhibit pins.

problems-
1. The pinout was tampered with by the KGB to make it totally 
   impossible to design a PCB for it.

2. I don't think you're supposed to drive LEDs directly from CMOS
   outputs- but it should be OK as long as you don't want them too
   bright.
