Little Birdie

I saw  a little birdie go hop, hop, hop   (hop fingers on palm)
I asked that little birdie to stop, stop, stop (hold up hand, palm out)

And away he flew!     (flap arms)

5.            Fingerplays:  Six Little Ducks
Six little ducks that I once knew (hold up two hands, palm out, six fingers extended)
Fat ducks, skinny ducks,fair ducks too. (wiggle fingers)
But one little duck with a feather in his back (hold up one finger)
He led the others with A Quack, Quack, Quack (hold up two hands, palm out, six fingers extended- one finger leading the other hand)
Down to the river They would go
Wibble-wobble, wibble-wooble, (press palms together, sway hands)
To and fro. But one little duck (hold up one finger)
With a feather on his back, He led the others with a quack, quack, quack! (hold up two hands, palm out, six fingers extended- one finger leading the other hand)
Quack, Quack, Quack. Quack, Quack, Quack
He led the others with a quack, quack, quack!

 During the Spring
During the Spring, it often showers (flutter fingers down)
Or the sun shines for many hours (form circle in the air with arms)
Both are good for the flowers! (cup each hand and extend arms like flowers)
