Ten Little Fingers Lyrics
I have ten little fingers and
they all belong to me.
I can make them do things,
would you like to see?
Open, shut them, open,
shut them give a little clap.
Open, shut them, open, shut them,
lay them in your lap.
Creep them, creep them,
creep them,creep them
right up to your chin.
Open wide your little mouth
but do not put them in.
Roll them, roll them,
roll them, roll them,
roll them just like this.
Shake them, shake them,
shake them, shake them,
blow a little kiss!

- Choose an instrument to play to the beat (the steady pulse) or the rhythm of the song (the short and long sounds that fit over an underlying beat).
- Play the song again and this time vary the dynamics (play the instruments loudly, normal or softly) for each verse.
