 AppleTree
A fingerplay

Way up high in the apple tree

Five little apples smiled at me  five fingers up
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apple
(crunch) it was good.
Way up high in the apple tree 

Four little apples smiled at me, etc. 

 

 

Five Little Pumpkins 
Counting poem

Five little pumpkins sitting in a gate.
The first one said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"
The second one said, "There are bats in the air."
The third one said, "But we don't care."
The fourth one said, "Let's run and have some fun."
The Fifth one said, "Let's run and run and run."
Then whooo went the wind and out went the lights

and five little pumkins rolled out of sight. 

Right Hand, Left Hand

This is my right hand,
I’ll raise it up high (right hand over head).
This is my left hand,
I’ll touch the sky (left hand up).
Right hand (show right palm)
Left hand (show left palm)
Roll them around (roll hands over and over)
Left hand (show left palm)
Right hand (show right palm)
Pound, pound, pound (pound fists together)
