Rock Scissors Paper Fingerplay #1 Lyrics and Actions
Key Gestures:
Rock – Make a fist.
Scissors – Two fingers extended and separated.
Paper – Hand open with fingers flat.
♫ Rock, scissors, paper. [Rock, scissors, and paper gestures.]
Rock, scissors, paper.
One, two, three. [Count to three with your fingers.]
Play with me. [Point to your chest with your thumbs.]
Right hand PAPER!
Left hand PAPER!
[Connect your thumbs together and make a butterfly.]
It’s a butterfly! [Fly your butterfly up and down and all around…if you like, pause the music here and spend some time flying around the room!]
Rock, scissors, paper.
Rock, scissors, paper.
One, two, three.
Play with me.
Right hand ROCK!
Left hand SCISSORS!
[Place the rock on top of the scissors, the rock becomes a snail shell and the scissors become the snail’s antennae.]
It’s a snail! [Again, pause the music here if you like…have the snails crawl around the room and talk to each other…talk with your kids about snails!]
Rock, scissors, paper.
Rock, scissors, paper.
One, two, three.
Play with me.
Right hand SCISSORS!
Left hand SCISSORS!
[The scissors become a crab’s pinchers. Hold them up to the side of your face and open and close your pinchers.]
It’s a crab! [Hold your pinchers up and walk around the room sideways!]
Rock, scissors, paper.
Rock, scissors, paper.
One, two, three.
Play with me.
Right hand PAPER!
Left hand PAPER!
[Place your hands on both sides of the face to simulate a lion’s mane.]
Oh no! It’s a lion! [Growl and stalk around the room!] ♫
