| Finger Play Fun Day Today is Finger Play Fun Day!
The finger play for today is In a Cabin in the Woods. There are many variations to this song but I shared the version I know!
The song has hand motions for each phrase. Each time you repeat the verse you stop singing the words for one phrase at a time but keep doing the motions. By the end you will "sing" the whole song silently while only using motions.
This activity teaches children listening skills, sequencing, motor skills and timing.

In a Cabin in the Woods
Author unknown
In a cabin in the woods,
Little old man by the window stood.
Saw a rabbit hopping by,
Knocking at his door.
"Help me! Help me! Help me!, he cried.
"Or the hunter will shoot me dead."
Come, o come and stay with me,
Safely, you will be.
