For ages 3 – 6
Children are seated.
Follow actions with hands as
rhymes indicate.
My Hands
My hands upon my head I place,
On my shoulders, on my face;
On my hips I place them, so.
Now I raise them up so high,
Make my fingers fairly fly.
Now I clap them, one, two, three,
Then I fold them silently.
Storytime
Sometimes my hands are at my side.
And then behind my back they hide.
Sometimes I wiggle my fingers so.
Shake them fast.
Shake them slow.
Sometimes my hands go clap clap clap.
And then I rest them in my lap.
And they're as quiet as quiet can be.
Because it's storytime you see.
FINGERPLAYS
Open Them, Shut Them
(adapted by Rose Anne St. Romain)
Open them, shut them
Open them, shut them.
Let your hands clap.
Open them, shut them.
Open them, shut them.
Drop them in your lap.
Walk them, walk them.
Walk them, walk them.
Way up to your chin.P
Open up your mouth,
But don’t let them walk in!
(Hands behind back!)
Open them, shut them.
Open them, shut them.
To your shoulders fly.
Let them like the little birds,
Fly up in the sky.
Falling, falling.
Falling, falling.
Almost to the ground.
Quickly raise your fingers up
And twirl them round and round and go
“bluluhluhluhluhluh!” (flick tongue over lips
while shaking hands above head)
Open them, shut them.
Open them, shut them.
Let your hands clap.
Open them, shut them.
Open them, shut them.
Drop them in your lap.
And keep them in your lap.

Preschool fingerplays and action rhymes

  • 1. For ages 3 – 6 Children are seated. Follow actions with hands as rhymes indicate. My Hands My hands upon my head I place, On my shoulders, on my face; On my hips I place them, so. Now I raise them up so high, Make my fingers fairly fly. Now I clap them, one, two, three, Then I fold them silently. Storytime Sometimes my hands are at my side. And then behind my back they hide. Sometimes I wiggle my fingers so. Shake them fast. Shake them slow. Sometimes my hands go clap clap clap. And then I rest them in my lap. And they're as quiet as quiet can be. Because it's storytime you see. FINGERPLAYS Open Them, Shut Them (adapted by Rose Anne St. Romain) Open them, shut them Open them, shut them. Let your hands clap. Open them, shut them. Open them, shut them. Drop them in your lap. Walk them, walk them. Walk them, walk them. Way up to your chin.P Open up your mouth, But don’t let them walk in! (Hands behind back!) Open them, shut them. Open them, shut them. To your shoulders fly. Let them like the little birds, Fly up in the sky. Falling, falling. Falling, falling. Almost to the ground. Quickly raise your fingers up And twirl them round and round and go “bluluhluhluhluhluh!” (flick tongue over lips while shaking hands above head) Open them, shut them. Open them, shut them. Let your hands clap. Open them, shut them. Open them, shut them. Drop them in your lap. And keep them in your lap.
