Transition #1 - Open-Shut Them (fingerplay)
Open, shut them
(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
Flannelboard – Shells in the Hot, Hot Sand (color naming chant I adapted
from one I found at Anne’s Library Life blog)
Instructions: Show the
flannelboard shell to the audience. Let
them name the color of the shell. Then,
place the shell on the board. When done
showing the shells, count the total number of shells on the board.
So many shells in the
hot, hot sand.
What color shell is in my hand?
Letter of the day - "H” is for hot, hot sand
Transition #2 – Tommy & Tammy Thumb (fingerplay)
Tommy Thumb up,
Tommy Thumb down,
Tommy Thumb dancing all around town.
Tammy Thumb out,
Tammy Thumb in,
Tammy Thumb dancing all in a spin.
Dancing, dancing,
dancing,
Dance them on your knees,
Dance them on your head,
Dance them on your shoulders,
Then tuck them into bed.
