Apple and Worm Finger Play

Apple Finger Play Action Rhyme
Apple Crunch is a new action finger play I have written for you! I love finger plays for preschool and kindergarten because:
  • children are instantly engaged
  • they encourage communication skills - looking at the teacher speaking, listening, speaking, participating with the group
  • they integrate language and vocabulary skills
  • they can be extended into reading and writing activities
  • they help with classroom behavior management
  • they settle and refocus busy learners
  • they help to transition students from one activity to the next with a little active brain break
  • students can integrate movement, language and communication

Blackline version

  • print this as a take-home activity
  • encourage students to 'read' it to their family
  • students can color the picture
