Fingerplays:

“Book” in Sign Language

Put your palms together with fingers pointing forward; open your hands, keeping the little fingers together, as though opening a book.

Here is My Book

Here is my book,

[hold hands together as if a book]
I open it wide,

[open hands]
To see all the pictures that are inside.

Storytime
It's time to watch and listen,
We're going to read a book.

[open hands like reading a book]
We'll sit down on the rug,

[sit down]
And use our eyes to look.
We'll look at pictures,

[shade eyes with hand]
And hear the story, too.

[cup hands around ears]
Oh, what fun it is to share

[hold out hands]
This storytime with you!

[point at kids]

Books

Big books, little books,

                [hold hands apart and then bring together]

Short books, tall.

                [hold one hand above the other and then spread apart]

Thin books, fat books,

                [hold thumb and finger close together and then spread apart]

I love them all!

                [place hand over heart]

I Love Books

I love books and they love me,

[put hands over heart]
I get them free at the library.

[hold out hands]
Read them once, read them twice,

[hold up one finger, then two]
Library books are oh, so nice!
