*Book 1 –Escargot by Dashka Slater

*Fingerplay:  Two Mother Pigs

Two mother pigs live in a pen.  (Put both thumbs up)

Each had 4 babies and that made 10. (Show all fingers and thumbs)

These 4 babies were black as night. (Hold up 1 hand, thumb in palm)

These 4 babies were black and white. (Hold up other hand, thumb in palm)

But all 8 babies loved to play,

And they rolled and rolled in the mud all day (roll hands over each other)

At night with their mother, they curled in a heap (make fists, palms up)

And squealed and squealed till they all went to sleep.

Pat-a-cake

Pat-a-cake, Pat-a-cake, Bakers Man

Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake, bakers man,

Bake me a cake as fast as you can.

Roll it & Pat it & Toss it up High

Put it in the oven,

For baby & I.

*Song:  P-I-Z-Z-A (Sing to tune of “B-I-N-G-O”)

I had a pizza big and round

And all of it was mine-O

P-I-Z-Z-A…

And all of it was mine-O!

(Clap out each letter)

*Book 4 – I Like a Snack on an Iceberg by Iris Hiskey Arno 

*Action: 
Bananas Unite!

(clap hands above head)

We pick bananas, pick pick bananas

(do a “milking” motion up and down in the air)

And peel bananas, peel peel bananas

(hands spread to side-right and left alternating)

And chop bananas, chop chop bananas

(karate chop in front of body)

And mash bananas, mash mash bananas

(hands in fists, “pounding” the air)

And eat bananas, eat eat bananas

(“scoop” bananas into your mouth)

Then go bananas! GO!  GO! BANNAS!!

(jump around wildly)
