Preschoolers learned a fingerplay called "The Little Mice Go Creeping." See the words below:
The little mice go creeping, creeping, creeping,
The little mice go creeping all through the house.
The great big cat goes stalking, stalking, stalking,
The great big cat goes stalking all through the house.
The little mice go scampering, scampering, scampering,
The little mice go scampering all through the house.
We started by only using our fingers. Our fingers creeped, stalked, and scampered. Then, those sneaky mice climbed all the way to the top of our heads!
After we knew how the different animals moved, we got up and moved like this animals all around the classroom. We practiced creeping, stalking, and scampering as well as stopping when the song stopped.
