I Wiggle
I wiggle my fingers,
I wiggle my toes,
I wiggle my shoulders,
I wiggle my nose.
(loudly) When no more wiggles, Are left in me,
(quietly) Then I'm as still,
As still as can be.

Two Little Dicky Birds
Two little Dicky Birds sitting on a wall. One named Peter and one named Paul. Fly away Peter, fly away Paul.
Come back Peter, come back Paul.

1. Place one bird finger puppet on each pointer finger and hold them out in front of you. Lift up 'Peter' and then 'Paul' where indicated, bowing them towards each other.
Hide Peter behind your back then Paul behind your back as they each ‘fly away’. Bring Peter back in front of you and then Paul back in front of you as they each ‘come back’. The children copy your actions with imaginary birds (they stick out their pointer fingers).
2. Same as above except substitute ‘Peter’ and ‘Paul’ with two children's names. Repeat until you have used all the children's names (unless there are more than 15 children in the group, in which case select a few children only).
