Examples
Little Bugs
I have a little ladybug that’s red with polka dots. (Imagine it’s on one fingertip.)
Her best friend is a dragonfly that’s green with purple spots. (On fingertip of other hand.)
They flit and flap up in sky dancing in the blue. (Wiggle fingers up high.)
Then land down on the grass of green and say, “how do you do?” (Dive fingers down low and “introduce” them to each other.)
So Many Feelings
My body’s feeling grumpy. (Marching in place with tight fists and grumpy face.)
I march and stomp my feet.
Now I’m feeling happy. (Suddenly become light with arms outstretched and smiling.)
I’m smiling and I’m sweet.
Now I’m feeling silly. (Wiggle around in a silly way.)
I wiggle all around.
I have so many feelings
I think I’ll just sit down. (Sit)
