Fingerplay: Fingerplay:
See the carrots in the ground (point hands and arms in a point to form a carrot and point to the ground.
I pull them hard without a sound (pull them out)
I wash and clean them up and down. (scrub up and down with your palms of your hands)
I love to eat them all year round. (Pretend to eat carrots with mouth)



Action Rhyme: I am a Volcano
I am a volcano ( squat down with hands around knees)
Hear me rumble (tremble and rumble)
The lava deep down in me,
Is beginning to bubble.
Something is going to happen,
Happen very soon!
I'm erupting with a
Big gigantic BOOM!!! (jump up and extend arms upward)
