1st Graders are learning a new fingerplay called Two Tall Telephone poles. Fingerplays are songs or chants that help children practice singing or speaking in rhythm and help them discover the form of a song.
Though it is a short one, this fingerplay proved to be very tricky. We had to practice the way our fingers would move ahead of time so we could be successful. With a little bit of practice, we had it perfect!
Ask your child to perform this fingerplay for you.
Two tall telephone poles,
Between them a wire is strung.
Two little birds hopped onto the wire
And they swung, swung, swung.
Hear Mrs. Tibbett's class perform this fingerplay in the video below:
