What Is Fingerplay? Fingerplay is hand movements coordinated with a song, rhyme, or occasionally a short story. The movements may be gross, meaning they involve the entire hand in a large motion such as waving. Or they could be fine, where they involve smaller, more detailed movements of the fingers. Encourage your child to use their finger to follow the bee. Encourage your child to move like a bee and buzz like a bee. Using fingerplays, songs and rhymes help children learn language by increasing vocabulary, learning the sounds of words and hearing the rhythm of language. Children can also gain large and small motor skills by performing movements required in fingerplays. Have fun and encourage your child to move around and around. You can extend your child by introducing the French names of animals.
