Teach the children this simple fingerplay with the motions. “Ten Fingers”:

(Point to self.)
I can make them do things –

Would you like to see?

I can shut them up tight. (Make fists.)
I can open them wide. (Open hands.)
I can put them together. (Place palms together.)
I can make them all hide. (Put hands behind back.)
I can make them jump high. (Hands over head.)
I can make them jump low. (Touch floor.)
I can fold them up quietly. (Fold hands in lap.)
And hold them just so.
