Finger Play Fun Day: The Apple Tree

Finger Play Fun Day:  The Apple Tree

Summer vacation is over and school has begun.  Fall and apple season is on the way!

The Apple Tree is the finger play for today's Finger Play Fun Day.

This is a simple finger play that my students always want to repeat and do again.  I made some cute little apple finger puppets out of felt but these are not necessary for doing the finger play!  Plain fingers do just as well.

Way up high in the apple tree,

Four little apples smiled at me.

I shook that tree as hard as I could.

Down came the apples!

Mmmm, were they good!

Here are more fun apple activities! 

Carolyn, at Wise Owl Factory, has created free worksheets:  Counting Apples-Counting and Skip Counting.    These are wonderful for children to practice counting by 2's and by 3's.  One worksheet has the children circling apples and then going back and counting the groups.  Another worksheet has the children filling in missing numbers.
