An Unexpected Sight
A Fingerplay
Even monsters get scared sometimes! Encourage your children to be---that is, pretend to be---monsters. Then ask a volunteer to step away from the group. At the end of the poem, have that boy or girl skip back in sight just in time to scare the monsters.
Five little monsters
Haunting in the night.
The first one said,
"I'm not feeling just right."
The second one said,
"My skin is feeling wet."
The third one quivered,
"We're just scared, I bet."
The fourth one said,
I can feel my heart pound."
The fifth one said,
"Shh! What was that sound?"
Then "Oooh" went the wind,
And on came the lights,
As a wee little [girl/boy]
Came skipping into sight!
