- Stand-up Activity - A Little Plant (action rhyme slightly adapted by Carol Hopkins)
Buried oh so deep, a little plant lay fast asleep

"Come up through the earth."

The little seed heard and giving it a try
Pointed its leaves
Up to the sky
- Bridge - Open Shut Them (fingerplay)
(open and close hands)
Open, shut them
Give a little clap (clap)
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Put them in your lap
(put hands in lap)
Creep them, creep them
Under your chin
(creep fingers up chest)
Open your mouth, but don't put them in
(do as words say)
Open, shut them
Open, shut them
Give a little clap
Open shut them
Open shut them
Put them in your lap
