Scarf Fingerplay: 5 Berries

Five ripe berries sitting in a bowl.

One fell out and started to roll.

It bumped the table and hit my toe. (Clap once and touch toes.)

How many berries left in the bowl?

Action Song: Pop Goes the Berry

(Tune: Pop Goes the Weasel)

All around the strawberry fields,

We picked some juicy berries.

We brought them home and washed them off.

Pop! Go the berries!

(Throw scarf in the air or have kids crouch down and jump up on POP!)

Fingerplay/Flannel: Jelly Sandwich 

*For this I made all the sandwich items to put on my flannelboard.  I wanted to add something to this, so I made splotches of purple and red.  Why?  Because I hold up the jelly jars and tell the kids we need to put jelly on our sandwich and then I pull out the splotch from the back of my jar.  I have a little pocket so it's hidden from sight.  Also, I like to use my scarf and wave it back and forth when we are spreading the items onto the bread.
