Family
This is a family
(hold up one hand, fingers spread)
Let’s count them and see,
How many there are,
And who they can be.
(count 1, 2, 3, 4, 5)
—
This is the mother
(touch pointer finger)
Who loves everyone,
—
And this is the father
(touch big finger)
Who is lots of fun.
—
This is my sister
(touch ring finger)
She helps and she plays,
—
And this is the baby
(touch little finger)
He’s growing each day.
—
But who is this one?
(touch thumb)
He’s out there alone,
—
Why it’s Jackie, the dog,
And he’s chewing a bone.
(wiggle thumb.)
