Christmas Finger Plays

My mom worked at a preschool for many years and is always full of great ideas and things to do with little ones. She recently passed along a list of Christmas Finger Plays that I wanted to share with you. My kids love them!

 

The Chimney

 

Here is the chimney, (fist)

Here is the top, (other hand over fist)

Open the lid, (remove hand)

Out Santa will pop! (pop up thumb)

 

Santa

 

When Santa comes down the chimney (Downward motions with hands)

I should like to peek (Peek through fingers)

But He'll never come, no never (Shake head)

Until I'm fast asleep. (Palms together beside head)

 

S-A-N-T-A

 

(Tune: Bingo)

 

There is a jolly, jolly man

And Santa is his name-o.

S-A-N-T-A (clap 5 times in rhythm)

S-A-N-T-A (clap 5 times in rhythm)

S-A-N-T-A (clap 5 times in rhythm)

And Santa is his name-o.
