For this fall fingerplay, preschoolers practiced speaking with expression at the same time as they practiced basic subtraction skills.
Ask your child to share this fingerplay with you, using the lyrics below:
Five little leaves so bright and gay,
Were dancing about on the tree one day.
A wind came blowing through the town,
And one little leaf came tumbling down.
(Practice subtraction... How many leaves are left?)
Four little leaves so bright and gay,
Were dancing about on the tree one day.
A wind came blowing through the town,
And one little leaf came tumbling down.
Three little leaves so bright and gay,
Were dancing about on the tree one day.
A wind came blowing through the town,
And one little leaf came tumbling down.
Two little leaves so bright and gay,
Were dancing about on the tree one day.
A wind came blowing through the town,
And one little leaf came tumbling down.
One little leaves so bright and gay,
Were dancing about on the tree one day.
A wind came blowing through the town,
And one little leaf came tumbling down.
