- Finger Play Actions: Number - show the number of ducks on your
fingers Over the hills - move hand in front of you like you are
going up and down over hills Far away - move opposite hand in
front of you in same motion Quack - move hand like a duck's beak
saying "quack" - Print, color and cut apart the Five Little
Ducks printable. Back each duck with sticky tape and post. Sing
the song or read the book and have the child remove one duck for
each verse (begin with Duck #5). To make the activity more
difficult, scramble the ducks so that the numbers are not in
order. - After reading the book several times, sing the song
doing the actions by memory. - As the book progresses, sing each
verse in a "more sad" voice. - Talk about the feeling of
"sadness." Show a "sad" face. Talk about things that make us sad
just like the Mommy Duck in the story. - Practice counting
backwards from 5 to 1 using your fingers to create a great fine
motor skill activity. - Visit a local pond and feed the ducks.
