Mother’s Day Finger Plays for Preschoolers
“Helping Mother” [1] by Mel
I like to help my mother
(nod head knowingly)
To me it’s just like play.

I wash the dishes
(pretend to wash dishes)
And sweep the floors
(pretend to sweep)
Because it’s Mother’s Day
(broad smiles)
“Mommy, Mommy” [1] by Author Unknown
Mommy, mommy, let’s sweep the floor.
(pretend to sweep the floor)
Mommy, mommy, let’s go to the store.
(pretend to drive a car)
Mommy, mommy, let’s bake a cake.
(pretend to mix ingredients)
Mommy, mommy, let’s take a break.
( wipe brow and whisper “whew”)
Mommy, mommy, loves me so.
(Draw a heart shape in the air with fingers)
Mommy, mommy, watch me grow.
(Stretch arms up high)
Mommy, mommy, turn out the light.
(Make a click sound and turn pretend light off)
Mommy, mommy, say good-night
put hands together beside cheek and tilt head)
