Directions:
Cut
out hotdogs from red felt using the pattern below. Cut buns from
the brown felt. Glue a hotdog to each bun. Glue on wiggly eyes
and draw a smile and nose with the marker. Glue a piece of Velcro
(hook side) to each finger on the glove. (Hint! It works best
if you also sew around the Velcro on the fingers of the glove.)
Glue the fuzzy side of the Velcro to the back of each sausage.
Place a hotdog on each finger before you say the rhyme below:
Five
little hotdogs frying in the pan.
The
grease got hot and one went BAM!
(Remove
a hotdog.) (Clap hands on BAM!)
Four
little hotdogs...three…two…one
No
little hotdogs frying in the pan.
The
pan got hot and it went BAM!
Adaptations: Say a similar poem about popcorn. "Five
little kernels sizzling in the pot. The grease got hot and one
went POP! Four little kernels…etc."
Make
other characters for finger plays out of felt and use them with
the mitt. For example:
Five
Little Pumpkins
Five
little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The
first one said, "Oh, my it's getting late!"
The second one said, "There are noises
everywhere!"
The
third one said, "But we don't care."
The
fourth one said, "Let's run and run and run."
The
fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"
Whooooooo
went the wind!
And
out went the light!
And
the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!
Jack
O' Lantern
This
is Jack O' Happy.
This
is Jack O' Sad.
This
is Jack O' Spooky.
And
this is Jack O' Mad.
This
is Jack in pieces small,
But
in a pie he's best of all!
