Finger Plays


“Finger plays have traditionally payed an important role in education: hey help teach rhythm, muscle control, and language.  According to the information at The Official Home of The Mother Goose Society, “The most basic form of finger play is the familiar counting-off of fingers (or toes!); others engage the hands more fully, and some even involve the whole body.”
