Fingerplay: Tommy Thumbs

Related to: Hearing Words, Play

Fingerplays are fun activities to do with your child. Fingerplays may introduce new words that your child may not hear in everyday conversation.

Tommy Thumbs are up (Wiggle thumbs up)
And Tommy Thumbs are down. (Wiggle thumbs down)
Tommy Thumbs are dancing
All around the town. (Wiggle thumbs)

Dance them on your shoulders, (Tap thumbs on shoulders)
Dance them on your head. (Tap thumbs on head)
Dance them on your knees, (Tap thumbs on knees)
And tuck them into bed. (Hide thumbs in fists)
