There Was a Little Turtle
This is a great rhyme to use hand motions.
—
There was a little turtle.
(one hand over the other, wiggle thumb)
—
He lived in a box.
(make box with both hands)
—
He swam in a puddle,
(make circles in palm of hand)
—
And he climbed on rocks.
(climb fingers over other hand)
—
He snapped at a mosquito,
(snap thumb and fingers together)
—
He snapped at a flea,
(repeat snap)
—
He snapped at a minnow,
(repeat snap)
—
And he snapped at me.
(point to self)
—
He caught the mosquito,
(clap hands)
He caught the flea,
(clap hands)
He caught the minnow,
(clap hands)
But he didn’t catch me!
(point to self and shake head)
