Preschool students have learned a new fingerplay called "Miss Polly Had a Dolly." A fingerplay is a song or a rhyme that includes motions. These motions help us to remember the words of the song and also help us to show the expression of the song.
The words to this fingerplay are:
Miss Polly had a dolly that was sick, sick, sick.
She called for the doctor to come quick, quick, quick.
The doctor came with his bag and his hat.
He knocked at the door with a rat-a-tat-tat.
He looked at the dolly and he shook his head.
He said, “Miss Polly put her straight to bed.”
He wrote on a paper for a pill, pill, pill.
“I’ll be back in the morning with the bill, bill, bill.”
Can you ask your child to teach you the motions to this song?
