Let’s have some fun with our fingers and learn a little song together! This is a special song about our family members, and we can use our fingers to play along. Are you ready? Let’s start!
First, let’s find our Daddy Finger. Can you wiggle your thumb? That’s your Daddy Finger!
Now, let’s sing:
Daddy finger, daddy finger, where are you?
Wave your thumb and say:
Here I am, here I am, how do you do?
Next, let’s find our Mommy Finger. Can you wiggle your pointer finger? That’s your Mommy Finger!
Now, let’s sing:
Mommy finger, mommy finger, where are you?
Wave your pointer finger and say:
Here I am, here I am, how do you do?
Now, let’s find our Brother Finger. Can you wiggle your middle finger? That’s your Brother Finger!
Let’s sing:
Brother finger, brother finger, where are you?
Wave your middle finger and say:
Here I am, here I am, how do you do?
Isn’t this song fun? You can keep going with your Sister Finger (your ring finger) and Baby Finger (your pinky finger). Try singing the song with your family and see if they can join in too!
Remember, singing songs like this helps us learn about our family and practice using our fingers. Keep having fun and singing along!
Finger Puppet Family: Create simple finger puppets using paper and crayons. Draw faces on small pieces of paper and tape them to each finger. As you sing the “Finger Family” song, use your finger puppets to act out each family member. Can you make up a new verse for a pet finger or a grandparent finger?
Family Finger Hunt: Go on a family finger hunt around your house! Find objects or pictures that remind you of each family member. For example, find something that your daddy likes for your Daddy Finger. Share what you found with your family and explain why it reminds you of them.
Finger Family Art: Draw an outline of your hand on a piece of paper. Decorate each finger to represent a different family member. Use colors, stickers, or drawings to show what makes each family member special. Can you think of a special memory with each person and share it with your class or family?
