Fast and Slow

Fingerplay: Fast and Slow

For this fun activity, I show a vehicle or item to the kids.  Then I ask them if this item goes fast or slow.  I chose to wave my scarf fast or slow, but you could always ask the kids to run in place fast or slow, or even wave their hands fast or slow.  This is a great learning tool and the kids are just having fun!

Fingerplay: 5 Little Frogs

One little frog goes hop… Another comes along and they just can’t stop!

So, two little frogs go hop, hop… Another comes along and they just can’t stop!

So, three little frogs go hop, hop, hop… Another comes along and they just can’t stop!

So, four little frogs go hop, hop, hop, hop… Another comes along and they just can’t stop!

So, five little frogs go hop, hop, hop, hop, hop… They all got tired so they had to stop!

*Start out with 5 frogs up, say:

5 little frogs go hop, hop, hop…..(Have volunteer take down frog)..STOP!

Let’s count those frogs again!

*I like to just start out with 5 frogs up, and we will all jump until one frog disappears!  Then, we will all count together to see how many frogs there are and repeat until no more frogs are left.
