Hello, little friend! Today, we’re going to have fun with the Finger Family. Let’s learn about each member of this special family and sing along with them!
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 together:
Mommy finger, mommy finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am, how do you do?
Now, let’s find your middle finger. This is your Brother Finger! Sing along:
Brother finger, brother finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am, how do you do?
Your ring finger is next. This is your Sister Finger! Let’s sing:
Sister finger, sister finger, where are you?
Here I am, here I am, how do you do?
Finally, we have your pinky finger. This is your Baby Finger! Sing with me:
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 play a fun game! Try to hide your fingers and make them pop out when you sing “Here I am!”
Remember, learning is fun, and you can sing this song anytime you want to play with your fingers. Have a great time with the Finger Family!
Finger Family Art: Gather some colored paper, markers, and glue. Ask the children to trace their hand on a piece of paper and label each finger with the names of the Finger Family: Daddy, Mommy, Brother, Sister, and Baby. Encourage them to decorate each finger with drawings or stickers to represent each family member. This activity helps reinforce the names and positions of each finger while allowing for creative expression.
Finger Family Puppet Show: Provide the children with finger puppets or help them make their own using paper and tape. Have them put on a puppet show, singing the Finger Family song and making the puppets appear when they sing “Here I am!” This hands-on activity enhances memory and coordination as they match the song lyrics with finger movements.
Observation and Reflection: Ask the children to observe their family members’ hands at home. Can they identify the Finger Family on someone else’s hand? Encourage them to ask their family members to sing the Finger Family song with them. This activity promotes observation skills and helps children connect the lesson to their everyday life.
Here’s a sanitized version of the YouTube transcript:
