Finger plays and songs

Bright Sun
(sung to “Row, Row, Row Your Boat”) 
Bright sun shining down,
Shining on the ground.
What a lovely face you have,
Yellow, big and round.




Car Song
(sung to “The Farmer in the Dell”) 
We’re riding in the car,
We’re riding in the car,
Hi-ho, away we go, 
We’re riding in the car.
We’re riding, oh, so far,
We’re riding, oh, so far,
Hi-ho, away we go, 
We’re riding, oh, so far.


Down By the Station 
Down by the station
Early in the morning.
See the little puffer-bellies
All in a row.
See the station master
Pull a little handle.
Puff, puff, toot, toot,
Off we go!


Hands on Hips 
Hands on hips,
Hands on knees,
Put them behind you,
If you please.
Touch your shoulders,
Touch your nose, 
Touch your ears,
And touch your toes.


Little Miss Muffet 
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider
That sat down beside her, 
And frightened Miss Muffet away!

Finger play
I have a handful of fingers.
Yes I do.
I can count them.
Can you count them too?

1 2 3 4 5

5 fingers on my hand, that’s 5.

1 finger up, that makes one.

2 fingers up, making two is fun.

3 fingers up, standing tall.

4 fingers up, that’s the call.

5 fingers up that’s all.

I have a handful of fingers.
Yes I do.

5 fingers

1 2 3 4 5


Mr. Sun

Oh Mister Sun, Sun.
Mister Golden Sun.
Won't you please shine down on me?

Oh Mister Sun, Sun.
Mister Golden Sun.
Hiding behind the tree.

These little children
are asking you.
To please come out
so we can play with you.

Oh Mister Sun, Sun,
Mister Golden Sun.
Won't you please shine down on me?

Way up high in the apple tree,
Point up high
Five red apples looked at me.
Hold up five fingers
I shook that tree as hard as I could,
Pretend to shake the tree with both hands
Down came an apple,
Wiggle fingers down from the air
Mmmm, it was good.
Rub tummy!

Criss Cross Applesauce 
Criss cross 
Applesauce. 
Spiders crawling up your back. 
Cool breeze,
Tight squeeze. 
Now you’ve got the shivers!

Wiggle Fingers 
Wiggle fingers, 
Wiggle so,
Wiggle high, 
Wiggle low.
Wiggle left,
Wiggle right.
Wiggle fingers out of sight!
