Happy Hands Finger Plays!

HERE IS A BUNNY

Here is a bunny     (Hold up index and middle fingers.)
With ears so funny.     (Wiggle fingers.)
And here is his
Hole in the ground.     (Make hole with fist of the other hand.)
At the slightest noise he hears,
He pricks up his ears,     (Wiggle fingers.)
Then hops to his
Hole in the ground!     (Pretend to hop bunny ears into the hole.)

HERE IS A TURTLE

Here is a turtle.     (Make fist.)
He lives in a shell.
He likes his home
Very well.
When he gets hungry     (Stick out thumb and wiggle.)
He comes out to eat.
Then he goes back into     (Tuck thumb back in fist.)
His house to sleep.

HAVE A CUP OF TEA

Here’s a cup.     (Hold up right hand.)
And here’s a cup.     (Hold left hand.)
And here’s a pot of tea.     (Put hands together.)
Pour a cup.     (Pretend to pour in right hand.)
And pour a cup.     (Pour in left hand.)
And have a cup with me!     (Pretend to drink.)

ME

I’ve got ten little fingers,     (Hold up both hands.)
And ten little toes,     (Point to feet.)
Two little eyes,     (Point to eyes.)
And a mouth and a nose.     (Point mouth and then nose.)
Put them all together,     (Circle arms as if hugging.)
And what have you got?     (Hands on hips.)
You’ve got me, baby,     (Put thumbs in chest.)
And that’s a lot!     (Wiggle hips.)

TEN LITTLE FRIENDS

Ten little friends     (Hold up fingers.)
Went out to play     (Wiggle.)
On a very bright
And sunny day.
And they took a little walk.
Walk, walk, walk.     (Walk fingers in front of your body.)
And they had a little talk.
Talk, talk, talk.     (Put fingertips together.)
They climbed a great big hill      (Move fingers over your head.)
And stood on the top very still.     (Keep hands still.)
Then they all tumbled down     (Roll hands around and down.)
And fell to the ground.
We’re so tired,     (Hold up fingers.)
They all said.
So they all went home
And went to bed.
10 – 9 – 8 – 7 – 6 –
5 – 4 – 3 – 2 – 1.     (Put down fingers one at a time.)
Good night!     (Lay head on hands.)
