Fingerplays

The Tightrope Walker
While the band is playing
Back and forth I go
High above the people
Sitting far below

While the crowd is cheering
I sway from side to side
Now my act is over
And down the pole I slide

Under the Big Top
Under the Big Top what do I see?
A great big elephant smiling at me
Next to the elephant what do I see?
A fuzzy brown bear dancing for me
Next to the bear what do I see?
A lion with a mane roaring at me
Next to the lion what do I see?
A little seal doing tricks for me

Five Funny Clowns
Five funny clowns juggling balls galore
One tripped and fell then there were four
Four funny clowns up on a trapeze
One jumped off then there were three
Three funny clowns chewing bubble gum
One left to get some more then there was one
One funny clown having lots of fun
He left the circus tent then there were none

Little Color Clown
Little clown with a big red nose
Little clown with funny clothes
Little clown with a suit of yellow
Little clown a happy fellow
Little clown with a blue pointed hat
Little clown short and fat
Little clown with a fancy green collar
Little clown wants to be taller
Little clown with hair orange and bright
Little clown a jolly good sight
Little clown with two purple feet
Little clown a d real circus treat

I wiggle my fingers, I wiggle my toes,
I wiggle my shoulders, I wiggle my nose,
Now all the wiggles are out of me,
And I am as quiet as can be.
