One little finger, one little finger, one little finger, tap, tap, tap.

Point your finger up.

Point your finger down.

Put it on your head... head!

Put it on your nose... nose!

Good to know

Children like rhymes – they enjoy the words, rhythm and actions. Repeating their favourites can help them enjoy them even more. This rhyme helps them learn about numbers and body parts, which is useful for them before they start school.

In time, see if your baby can sing along and do the actions with you. They will become more confident to try the more they hear the rhyme.
