I have Ten Little Fingers

I Have Ten Little Fingers

and they all belong to me

I can make them do things

Would you like to see?

I can shut them up tight

I can open them wide

I can clap them together

And i can make them hide

I can make them go high

I can make them go low

I can fold them together

and hold them just so!

This little clown sings a funny song

This little clown is wee and small

But he can do anything at all!

There was a little turtle,
(Make small circle with hands.)

He lived in a box,
(Make a box with both hands.)

He swam in a puddle,
(Wriggle hands.)

And climbed on the rocks.
(Climb fingers of one hand up over the other.)

He snapped at a mosquito.
(Clap hands)

He snapped at a flea.
(Clap hands.)

He snapped at a minnow.
(Clap hands.)

He snapped at me.
(Point at self.)

He caught the mosquito.
(Hold hand up, palm forward; quickly bend fingers shut.)

He caught the flea.
(Repeat.)

He caught the minnow.
(Repeat.)

But he didn't catch me.
(Bend fingers only half-way shut.)

(hold up left hand, extend fingers, count)

They nod their hands to the children so.
(bend fingers forward)

They run to the left, they run to the right.
(wiggle fingers to the left, then to the right)

They stand up and stretch in the bright sunlight
(stretch fingers up slowly)

Along comes a dog, who's in for some fun.
(move right fist slowly towards stretching fingers)

M-e-ow, see those kittens run.
(run and hide left fingers behind your back)

Ten Fingers

Ten Fingers
(follow the actions in the rhyme)

I have ten fingers

And they all belong to me

I can make them do things,

Would you like to see?

I can shut them up tight

Or open them up wide

I can put them together

Or make them all hide

I can make them jump high

I can make them jump low

I can fold them quietly

And hold them just so.

This Little Wind Blows Rain

 This Little Wind Blows Rain

(tap fingers like 'This Little Piggy')

This little wind blows rain

This little wind drifts snow

This little wind brings the sunshine

This little wind whistles low

And this little wind

Rocks the baby birds to and fro.

This Little Cow

(touch each finger, like This Little Piggy)


This little cow eats grass


This little cow eats hay


This little cow looks over the bridge


This little cow runs away


And this little cow does nothing at all


But lie in the fields all day


Let's chase this little cow.

(tickle tummy)
