There Was a Little Turtle

Image result for turtle clipart
First graders just learned a new fingerplay!  This one is called "There Was a Little Turtle."

Ask your child to perform it for you (don't let them forget to show you the motions!).



There was a little turtle, 
Who lived in a box.
He swam in the water,
And he climbed on the rocks.
He snapped at the minnow,
He snapped at the flea,
He snapped at the mosquito,
And he snapped at me!
He caught the minnow.
He caught the flea.
He caught the mosquito.
But he didn't catch me!

Hear Mrs. Larson's class perform this fingerplay here:
