Fingerplay:
 

This is the way we saw the wood

Saw the wood, saw the wood

This is the way we saw the wood

Sawing, sawing, sawing.

This is the way we hammer the nail

Hammer the nail, hammer the nail

This is the way we hammer the nail

Pound, pound, pound.

This is the way we stir the paint

Stir the paint, stir the paint

This is the way we stir the paint

Stir, stir, stir.

Flannelboard:


Five little nails, standing straight and steady.
Here I come with my hammer ready!
Bam Bam Bam! That nail goes down.
Now there’s just four nails to pound.


Action Activity:

We work with one hammer, one hammer,

one hammer, (pound one fist on ground)

We work with one hammer,

and now we work with two! (pound two fists on ground)

We work with two hammers, two hammers,

two hammers, (pound two fists on ground)

We work with two hammers,

and now we works with three! (pound two fists and stomp one foot)

 We work with three hammers, three hammers, 

three hammers, (pound two fists and stomp one foot)

We work with three hammers,

and now we works with four! (pound two fists and stomp both feet)

We work with four hammers, four hammers,

four hammers, (pound two fists and stomp both feet)

We work with four hammers,

and now we need a nap! (collapse onto ground)
