Transition Tuesday

Try this fingerplay to get the wiggles out.

Animals and Insects

Here is an ostrich straight and tall

(Arms above head with wrist bent forward for ostrich’s head)

Nodding her head above us all.

Here is a bull snake on the ground,

(Move hand back and forth)

Wiggling around with a hissing sound.

Here is an eagle flying high.

(Spread arms and move like wings.)

And spreading his wings across the sky.

Here is a porcupine with quills on back.

(Spread five fingers behind fist on other hand.)

Each quill is sharper than a sharp tack.

Here is a spider upon the gate.

I counted its legs and there were eight.

(Hold up eight fingers.)

Here is an owl with great round eyes

(Circle eyes with fingers.)

And here are some flickering fireflies.

(Wiggle fingers.)
