My Hand
It claps
It waves
It misbehaves
It clicks
It flicks
It plays
with sticks
It holds
It scolds
My clothes it folds
It cares
It shares
It
tickles bears!!
Start off by performing this poem, using actions suggested by the children.
Next, have a discussion: what are some of the different things that hands can do? Jot down some ideas on the board. Each child then goes to their table, and has a go at writing down some of the things they like doing with their hands (reading books, hugging teddies, eating crisps, etc). Each child then has a go at drawing an outline of their hand, and copying their writing so that it follows the outline. They end up with a lovely shape poem!!!
