It has been bitter cold here in Iowa. However, we are looking for a warm-up next week. Yes, sometimes above 30 is considered warm! LOL Here it is:
-----------------------------------
Since we are still "enjoying" the winter weather, I thought I would share some fingerplays for winter. I apologize for not being able to quote the exact source of each one. I pulled them from a file. ;) Please let me know if you know any so I can give credit.
Snowflakes falling, falling down, (flutter fingers)
The wind blows them round and round. (circular motion)
they whip and whirl in the air
Then land softly everywhere.
-----------------------------------
I built a snowman out of three balls - 1, 2, 3 (three fingers)
One ball was small, one middle-sized, and one as big as can be!
(form three circles, each larger)
-----------------------------------
I like to play in the snow, (flutter fingers)
But every time I want to go,
I hear my mom say, (hand to ear)
"It's a very cold day, (shiver)
Bundle up, zip up, (pretend to dress)
Boots, gloves, and hat on."
After I dress from here down, (point to head then toe)
I feel as clumsy as a clown. (act clumsy)
Dressing up sure is a bummer! (shake head sideways)
Why isn't there snow in the summer?
