Snowman Fingerplay: Poetry in the Classroom

Five Little Snowmen Fat. Each wore a funny little hat. Out came the sun Just to chat. What a sad thing was that! Down, down, down.

I have enjoyed this finger play for many years with literally Hundreds of kindergartners. Download this freebie, copy, cut, laminate, and
attach to sticks and the poem is ready to go!
