Fingerplay: Five little kittens

Five little kittens standing in a row (hold up 5 fingers)

They nod their heads to the children so (bend fingers)

They run to the left, they run to the right (run fingers to the left and then to the right)

They stand up and stretch in the bright sunlight (stretch fingers out tall)

Along comes a dog who's in for some fun (hold up one finger from opposite hand)

MEOW! See those little kittens run (let fingers run).

Poem: Hopping Kangaroo
The hopping kangaroo is very funny,
She leaps and runs and hops like a bunny,
And on her stomach is a pocket so wide,
Her baby can jump in and go for a ride!

Fingerplay: The Brown Kangaroo

The brown kangaroo is very funny
She leaps and runs and hops like a bunny (two fingers up and hop)

Her baby can jump in and go for a ride (first hand jumps into “pocket”)

Rhyme: Five Little Kites

Five bright kites I bought at the store. (five fingers)

Along came a strong wind, and now I have four. (thumb)

Four bright kites flying over the sea.

Along came a big wave, and now I have three. (index)

Three bright kites, I'll give one to you.

Three bright kites, now I have two. (middle finger)

Two bright kites flew too near the sun.

Poor little kites! Now I have one. (ring down)

One bright kite - that's enough for me,

I'll keep it away from the kite - eating tree!
