Sing “Two Little Birds” with the infants. Use hands in a thumbs-up gesture as a prop to represent birds.


Two little birds sat on a hill,

one named Jack. (Hold up one thumb.)
And the other named Jill. (Hold up other thumb.)
Fly away, Jack. (Move one thumb behind back.)
Fly away, Jill. (Move other thumb behind back.)
Come back, Jack. (Bring first thumb around front.)
Come back, Jill. (Bring other thumb around front.)
