Game  (Gross motor skills activity)	Catepillar rhymes: “Let’s go to sleep,” the little catepillars said, (Lay fingers on palm of other hand) As they tucked themselves in their beds. (Bend fingers around fingers of the other hand) They will awaken by and by, (Slowly unfold fingers) And each one will be a lovely butterfly. (Make a butterfly with hands) Fuzzy wuzzy caterpillar into a corner creep. (Crawl index finger along arm) He’ll spin himself a blanket, (Spin hands around each other) And then fall fast asleep. (Rest head on hands, close eyes) Fuzzy wuzzy caterpillar wakes up by and by, (Open eyes and open hands) Stretches his lovely wings, (Stretch) Then the butterfly will fly! (Make a butterfly with hands) http://kidsspace.torontopubliclibrary.ca/Offline%20Activities/documents/rhymes_actionpreschool.pdf
