Fingerplays:
Digging in the Dirt
Ten little doggies went out one day (hold 10 fingers up)
To dig in the dirt and play, play, play. (Pretend to dig like a dog with both hands)
Five were spotted, and five were not, (Hold up one hand at a time)
And at dinner time they ate a lot! (Pretend to eat)
Call the Puppy
Call the puppy (beckon with finger)
And give him some milk (pour milk in bowl)
Brush his coat (pretend to brush)
Till it shines like silk
Call the puppy (beckon with finger)
And give him a bone (pretend to feed dog)
Take him for a walk (pretend to hold leash)
Then bring him home. (make shape of house with hands)
Puppy Dog
Puppy dog, puppy dog, turn around,
Puppy dog, puppy dog, touch the ground.
Puppy dog, puppy dog, wag your tail.
Puppy dog, puppy dog, drink from the pail.
Puppy dog, puppy dog, sit and beg.
Puppy dog, puppy dog, hold up one leg.
Puppy dog, puppy dog, take a walk
Puppy dog, puppy dog, try to talk.
Puppy dog, puppy dog, try to lick
Puppy dog, puppy dog, fetch the stick.
Puppy dog, puppy dog go upstairs
Puppy dog, puppy dog, look for bears.
Puppy dog, puppy dog, turn off the light.
Puppy dog, puppy dog, say goodnight.
