Yesterday, at story time we did this cute counting finger play that I had never heard before (Sorry I can't give credit to the original author). It goes like this:
This is the bee hive, but where are the bees?
Hidden inside where nobody sees.
Soon they'll come buzzing out of the hive,
1-2-3-4-5! Buzzzzz!
Here are the actions (Pictures courtesy of Sam):

Soon they'll come buzzing out of the hive, (flutter fingers around like flying bees)
1-2-3-4-5! Buzzzzz! (count to 5 with fingers)
Cute! So you're one of those 'thumb as one' folks:o) It was so hard for me to get used to-- Z's school always had them count that way! I'm an index as one girl:o)
ReplyDeleteI use my pointer for one but this is the way I do 3 (the way I show in the picture) because that is the way you do it for sign language.
