Rhymes & Fingerplays

The Moon
I look for the moon every night. look upward
Sometimes it’s yellow, orange or white. count colors as mentioned
Sometimes it looks just like a ball. make circle with hands
Sometimes it is not there at all. shake head “no”
On some nights, half the moon will hide. cover half of face with hand
On others, it’s a smile tipped on its side. make “u” with thumb & index finger, turn

The Sun
From “Ring a Rig O’Roses by Flint Public Library
In the morning the sun gets up Extend arm horizontally.
And marches all the day. Raise arm slowly.
At noon, it stands right overhead; Point straight up.
At night, it goes away. Lower arm slowly and drop down.

Stars
From “Ring a Rig O’Roses by Flint Public Library
At night I see the twinkling stars Opening and closing hands
And a great big smiling moon. Circle arms overhead
My mommy tucks me into bed, Lay head on hands
And sings a good-night tune. Rocking motions with arms.
