Play a finger game with your kid

Finger games and action verses are beneficial for your kid and are just a lot of fun!

***
See the leaves all falling down,
To make a carpet on the ground,
Swish, swish, wind blows by,
Swish, swish, away they fly.
Windshield wiper, windshield wiper,
What do you do today?
Slip-slap, slip-slap,
I wipe the rain away.

***
Choo, choo, choo, choo
(rub palms together in circular motion to make a noise, slowly at first, gradually increasing speed)
Too-too, too-too, too-too ...........
(keep hands rubbing fast and call too - too for whistle )
Choo-choo, choo-choo, choo-choo
(rubbing hands gradually more and more slowly)
Ding-dong, ding-dong, ding-dong .....
(stop altogether and call ding - dong)



***
Five little birds without any home,
(raise 5 fingers of right hand)
Five little trees in a row.
(raise right hand high over head)
Come and build your nests in our branches tall
(cup left hand for nest-right fingers in)
We'll rock you to and fro.
(then rock both hands)





***
Five little kittens
(hand made into a fist)
All black and white
Sleeping very soundly
All through the night.


Meow, meow, meow, meow
(each finger raised in turn to "Meow")
It's time to get up now.
