Make a Chart: When sharing a fingerplay, you might write the text (excluding the movement directions) on chart paper and post it at children’s eye level. Even if children aren’t yet able to read, they’ll enjoy exploring letters and words. You can recite the rhyme before introducing the movements. As you read, track the words with your finger. After children are familiar with the words, introduce the movements.
