Note: Do not write the chant on the board. You want the children to listen
carefully and repeat the chant and copy the hand movements.
Procedure
1 Ask the children to stand up and shake their hands. This is to loosen up
their finger muscles for a finger play. Finger plays not only tap into a
kinaesthetic style of learning, but also help to develop the children’s fine
motor skills.
2 Tell them that you are going to teach them a finger play about families.
3 Read out the first line of the finger play and demonstrate the
accompanying actions. See Box 111.
4 The children repeat the first line with the actions. The stressed syllables
are in bold.
5 Check pronunciation, stress and rhythm. Pay attention to the schwa / ə /
sound on the weak syllables.
6 Now read out lines 2 and 3 and ask the children to listen and repeat while
following your hand actions.
7 Repeat lines 1, 2 and 3 until you are satisfied that the children are saying
the chant correctly and doing the hand actions.
8 Now introduce lines 4, 5 and 6 and ask the children to repeat and copy
the hand actions.
9 Finally, perform the complete finger play together.
