Kindergartners have just learned the fingerplay "Grandma's Glasses." Fingerplays are songs or rhymes with actions. These help students to show the meaning of the words with their actions and the inflection of their voices.
We loved showing Grandma's teeny tiny glasses and hat and Grandpa's great big glasses and hat.
The words to this fingerplay are:
These are Grandma's glasses,
(make small circle with fingers for each eye to look through)
And this is Grandma's hat.
(place one hand flat on top of head)
And this is the way she folds her hands,
(fold hands)
And puts them in her lap.
(set folded hands in lap)
These are Grandpa's glasses,
(make large circles with hands for each eye to look through)
And this is Grandpa's hat.
(hold hands and arms straight up and out)
And this is the way he folds his arms,
(fold arms)
Just like that.
(bounce folded arms up and down three times)
