Hello, little friend! Today, we’re going to learn about a special family called the Finger Family. They love to sing and play. Let’s meet them one by one!
Can you find your thumb? That’s your Daddy Finger! Let’s sing:
Daddy finger, daddy finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am, how do you do?
Next is your pointer finger. That’s your Mommy Finger! Let’s sing:
Mommy finger, mommy finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am, how do you do?
Now, find your middle finger. That’s your Brother Finger! Let’s sing:
Brother finger, brother finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am, how do you do?
Your ring finger is next. That’s your Sister Finger! Let’s sing:
Sister finger, sister finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am, how do you do?
Finally, your pinky finger is your Baby Finger! Let’s sing:
Baby finger, baby finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am, how do you do?
Now that you know the Finger Family, you can sing along with them anytime. It’s fun to use your fingers to play and sing. Try it with your friends and family!
Grab some crayons or markers and draw the Finger Family on a piece of paper. You can color each finger a different color. Maybe Daddy Finger is blue, Mommy Finger is pink, and so on. Use your imagination!
Do you know the song “The Wheels on the Bus”? It’s another fun song to sing. The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round. You can sing this song while pretending to drive a bus with your hands!
Have fun singing and playing with the Finger Family and other songs. Music makes learning so much fun!
Finger Puppet Play: Create your own finger puppets using paper and crayons. Draw faces on small pieces of paper and tape them to your fingers. Use these puppets to act out the Finger Family song. Can you make up a new story for the Finger Family? Share your story with a friend or family member!
Finger Family Nature Hunt: Go on a nature walk with an adult and see if you can find things that remind you of each Finger Family member. For example, a tall tree could be the Daddy Finger, and a small flower could be the Baby Finger. Talk about why you chose each item and how it relates to the Finger Family.
Finger Family Dance: Use your fingers to create a dance routine for the Finger Family song. Move your fingers up, down, and around as you sing. Can you make your fingers dance to other songs you know? Show your dance to someone and teach them how to do it too!
