Fun With Fingerplays and Songs

In My Pockets The things in my pockets are lots of fun. (Hold up five fingers.) I will show you one by one. In my first pocket is a frog, (Point to thumb.) I found him sitting on a log. In my second pocket is a car, (Point to index finger.) It can race off very far. In my third pocket is a ball, (Point to middle finger.) I can bounce it on a wall. In my fourth pocket is a bunny, (Point to ring finger.) She twitches her nose and looks so funny. In my fifth pocket is a dog, (Point to little finger.) He’s a friend of my little frog. (Touch little finger to thumb.)

A Kiss in my Pocket There’s something in my pocket, Could it be a moose? Could it be a train with a bell and a caboose? Could it be a snake or some sticky glue? Right here in my pocket is a KISS from me to you! .

Where’s Your Pocket? (Tune: “Are You Sleeping?”) Where’s your pocket? Where’s your pocket? Find it now, find it now. What would you put in it? What would you put in it? Tell us now, tell us now.

Other Fun Things

Ziploc Bag Pocket Book Take a few bags and staple them together on the permanently sealed end across from the reusable seal. Put duct tape over the staples to create a binding and cover the staples. Cut some pieces of colored construction paper to fit inside each bag. Then draw pictures or cut out magazine images and put them on both sides of the paper inside the bags. (This is a good way to develop vocabulary skills.) Now you have an ever changing and almost indestructible Ziploc book to share with your child.

A Child's Own Flannelboard Children enjoy our flannelboard stories and are interested in playing with the pieces to see the "magic" behind how the pieces stick to each other.

Directions: Tape two sides of a manila file folder shut leaving the top of the folder open to create a pocket to store flannelboard pieces inside. Peel the backing off of an 8 1/2” x 11” adhesive-backed piece of felt and carefully stick it to one side of the folder. Use scissors to cut out various shapes and designs from assorted pieces of felt and decorate them to help your child tell a story. You may want to do some nursery rhymes such as "Humpty Dumpty", assorted shapes and colors to help your child learn basic concepts, or pieces to help tell a favorite family story. Get creative and have fun! Store the smaller pieces inside the flannelboard's pocket.
