Singing Games Activity Book - I Wiggle My Fingers


Music Resource Description
The "I Wiggle My Fingers" activity from the Singing Games Activity Book is a delightful chant that combines movement with music to engage young children. The lyrics guide the children through a series of actions, starting with wiggling their fingers and progressing to their toes, shoulders, and finally their nose. The playful nature of the song encourages children to be active and have fun, as they wiggle different parts of their body. It's important to remind the children to wiggle their toes inside their shoes, adding a touch of humour and a sense of challenge to the activity.
As the song reaches its climax with the line "no more wiggles are left in me," children are encouraged to wave and wiggle their arms all over the place, expending energy and enjoying the freedom of movement. The final line, "then I'm as still as still can be," brings the activity to a calm and quiet end as the children sit still and place a finger to their lips. This chant can be performed in a variety of ways, including chanting with actions or whispering with actions, allowing for flexibility and variation in how the activity is conducted. The combination of action and stillness makes this an excellent tool for helping children learn to control their movements and listen attentively.
