Our recent preschool field trip to the firestation sparked an interest in C in all things firefighter. Here's a fingerplay for you to learn together. Try to remember, even after thirty-somethingth time performing, repetition is a positive thing! Fingerplays use fine motor development and hearing and discerning the sounds of language, as well as rhyming which kindergarten teachers like our kiddos to come prepared with.
A Firefighter
This brave fireman is going to bed
hold up right thumb
Down on the pillow he lays his head
right thumb on left palm
Wraps himself in his blanket tight
curl fingers around thumb
And plans to sleep this way all night
close eyes
But the fire alarm rings! He opens his eyes!
open eyes
Quickly he's dressed and down the pole he slides
right hand slides down left arm
in a grip from elbow to wrist
Then he climbs on the truck to go, go, go!
hands manipulate imaginary steering wheel
