Enjoy this fingerplay with your infants and toddlers! Since children have difficulty holding up fingers, this also works well as a flannelboard story.
Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins
Sitting on a gate
(Hold one arm horizontally with opposite hand on top showing five fingers)
The first one said,
(hold up finger)
"Oh, my, it's getting late!"
(put hands on cheeks)
The second one said,
(hold up second finger)
"There are witches in the air!"
(glide hands through air)
The third one said,
(hold up third finger)
"But we don't care!"
(shake head sideways)
The fourth one said,
(hold up fourth finger)
"Let's run and run and run!
(make running motion)
"The fifth one said,
(hold up fifth finger)
"I'm ready for some fun!"
(shake both arms)
OOOOOOOH, went the wind
(wiggle fingers through air)
And OUT went the lights
(clap on "OUT")
And the five little pumpkins
(hold up all five fingers)
Rolled out of sight.
(roll arms over each other)

Cinco calabacitas
Cinco calabacitas
Sentadas en la verja
La primera dijo:
"¡Ho! ¡se hace tarde!"
La segunda dijo:
"¡Hay brujas en el aire!"
La tercera dijo:
"No nos importa!"
La cuarta dijo:
"¡A correr, a correr, a correr!"
La quinta dijo:
"Estoy lista para divertirme!"
El viento hizo UH UH UHY
se FUE la luz (palmear en "fue")
Y las cinco calabacitas
Rodaron fuera de vista.
