Fingerplays and rhymes
Wide Eyed Owl
Theres a wide eyed owl (make circles over eyes)
With a pointed nose (triangle over nose)
2 pointed ears (use fingers for ears)
And claws for toes (wiggle fingers)
He lives way up in a tree (point high)
And when he looks at you ( point at kids)
He flaps his wings (flap)
And says Hoo Hoo!
An Owl Sat Alone
An owl sat alone
On the branch of a tree (hold up pointer finger)
He was as quiet as he could be (finger to lips)
It was night
And his eyes were round like this (circles around eyes)
And when he looked around
Not a thing did he miss (hold hand shading eyes and peer around)
Five little owls (also flannel)
This little owl was sitting on a limb
This one flew over to play with him
This owl called whoo, whoo, whoo
This one answered “I wish I knew”
The suns coming up, this one said
And the five little owls went to bed
Good night!
Five Hoot Owls
Five hoot owls, sitting in a tree
One flew away! How many do you see?
Count: one two three four!
Four Hoot owls sitting in a tree
One flew away! How many do you see?....
