In Region 13's "Making Teaching and Learning Fun! with Dr. Jean" series, we learn that fingerplays are fun ways to engage students during story time. You'll find your little ones wanting to move their fingers and arms along with you. Don't worry about age, language or mobility issues, these songs work with everyone. Try these during cooldown or on a scheduled basis.
