Rhyme Game (if two words I say rhyme, the kids have to jump)
Swim your fingers (modified from Storytime Katie)
Swim your fingers up,
Swim your fingers down,
Swim your fingers side to side,
Swim them round and round,
Swim them on your shoulders,
Swim them on your head,
Swim them on your tummy,
And put them right to bed!
Literacy tip of the week: Finger plays help give little ones the finger strength they will need when learning to write.
