Fun Learning Songs and Finger Plays
Finger Plays and Nursery Rhymes are valuable activities that help children acquire skills that are essential to their development and learning. They help improve and advance memory and language skills, while also aiding in the development of eye-hand coordination and enhancing their gross and fine motor skills.
Finger Plays also help in the development of the young child’s mind by stimulating the brain to aid in the connection of brain cells before the age of 3. Here are a few to try.
If You’re a Monster and You Know It
(To the tune of If you’re happy and you know it)
If you’re a monster and you know it, wave your arms,
If you’re a monster and you know it, wave your arms,
If you’re a monster and you know it, then your arms will surely show it,
If you’re a monster and you know it, wave your arms!
Additional verses: show your claws; gnash your teeth; stomp your feet.
Two Little Fishes
Two little fishes side by side
(hold up two index fingers, side by side)
Swim through the water.
Swim through the tide.
(swimming motion)
They don’t need a motor.
And they don’t need a sail.
(shake head twice)
They just wiggle their fins.
(wiggle hands at side)
And wiggle their tails.
(wiggle hands behind your back)
Two little blackbirds
Two little black birds,
Sitting on the hill.
(hold up one finger of each hand)
One named Jack,
The other named Jill.
Fly away Jack!
(put a hand behind your back)
Fly away, Jill!
(put the other hand behind you back)
Come back, Jack!
(bring the first hand from behind your back)
Come back, Jill!
(bring the second hand from behind your back)
