FINGERPLAYS
Helping Mother
I like to help my
mother
(nod head knowingly)
To me it's just like play.
(point to self on"me")
I wash the dishes
(pretend to wash dishes)
And sweep the floors
(pretend to sweep)
Because it's Mothers Say
(broad smiles)
Five Pretty Mommies -
Sung to "Five Little Ducks"
Five pretty mommies I
once knew,
Fat ones, skinny ones, tall ones, too,
But the one in the middle that belongs to me…
I love her and she loves me!
Down to the grocery we did go,
Wibble – wobble, wibble – wobble, to and fro,
But the one in the middle that belongs to me,
I love her, and she loves me!
SONGS
A Mom's a Special
Lady - Sung to: "Eensy, Weensy, Spider"
A
Mom's a special lady,
So hug her every day.
She gives you lots of food to eat,
And takes you out to play.
Your mother reads you stories,
And buys you sneakers, too.
Aren't you happy that you have
A mom who loves you so?

Sometimes Mom Says Sung to: "Twinkle,
Twinkle"
Sometimes Mom says "don't do this"
Sometimes Mom says "don't do that"
Still she loves me that I know.
Why? Because she tells me so.
Sometimes Mom says let's do this.
Sometimes Mom says "kiss, kiss, kiss!"
