Five Little Shells Fingerplay
5 little shells lying on the shore,
Crash went the waves and then there were 4.
4 little shells down by the sea,
Crash went the waves! then there were 3.
3 little shells, smooth as new,
Crash went the waves! then there were 2.
2 little shells, sparkling in the sun,
Crash went the waves! Then there was 1.
1 little shell, left by itself,
I took it home, and put it on my shelf.
Little
Airplane
(Tune: Frere Jacques)
Little
airplane, little airplane,
In the sky, in the sky,
I can see you soaring,
I can see you soaring,
Up so high,
Up so high.
Row
row row your boat
Gently down the
stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream.
Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Look there is an alligator
Don't forget to scream !!!
THE MITTEN
Thumb in the thumb hole
Fingers all together
This is the way we
Go in winter weather
If they are wool or
Made of finest leather
This is the way we
Go in winter weather.
FIVE LITTLE FIREFIGHTERS
Five little firefighters
Standing in a row
1-2-3-4-5 they go.
Hop on the engine with a shout
and quick as a wink (wink your eye),
the fire is out !

Ocean
Song
This is to the tune of "Wheels on the Bus"
The waves in the sea go up and down, up and down, up and down
( make your hands go up and down )
The waves at the beach go up and down
In the deep blue sea
The crabs in the sea go back and forth, back and forth, back and forth
Make your fingers go back and forth
The crabs at the beach go back and forth
In the deep blue sea
The lobsters in the sea go snap, snap, snap
make your fingers go snap snap snap
continue
The clams in the sea go open and shut, open and shut, open and shut,
fingers - open and shut
continue
The sharks in the sea go crunch, crunch, crunch
make big arm snapping movements
The whale in the sea goes splush, splush, splush,
make spouting sounds from "your" blow hole atop your head
The jellyfish go wibble, wobble, wibble, wibble, wobble, wibble, wibble, wobble, wibble

Ten
Fingers
I have ten fingers
And they all belong to me,
I can make them do things-
Would you like to see?

I can open them wide
I can put them together

I can make them jump high
I can make them jump low
I can fold them up quietly
And hold them just so.
