Fingerplay: “Slowly, Slowly”
Make a snail with your fist and thumb, and creep it up your arm as you sing.
Slowly, slowly, very slowly creeps the garden snail.
Slowly, slowly, very slowly up the garden rail.
Scurry your fingers quickly up your arm.
Quickly, quickly, very quickly runs the little mouse.
Quickly, quickly, very quickly into his little house.
