Fingerplays
Warm Up Song
(Traditional. Adapted by Debbie Brightwell Brown. Suit actions to the words as you
recite the rhyme.)
A one, and a two, and a three and a four,
Touch your toes, and again once more.
Jog in place and do some hops,
March around the room, now come to a stop.
Lie on your back; put your feet in the air.
Now pretend to pedal a bike that’s not really there.
This is fun and a very good way,
To pass the time on a long summer day.
Songs
Shake It Song
(By Susan Dailey of the Wells County Library System in Indiana. Reprinted with
permission. Sing to the tune of “The Farmer in the Dell.” Give each child a shaker, bell,
tambourine or some type of noisemaker, etc. Shake the noisemakers as the song
instructs.)
You shake your tambourine high.
You shake your tambourine low.
You shake your tambourine fast, fast, fast,
And then you shake it slow.
You shake it to the left.
You shake it to the right.
You shake and shake your tambourine,
Until it is out of sight.
