Rock Scissors Paper Fingerplay #2 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 ROCK!
Left hand PAPER!
[Place the paper hand on top of the rock hand and fly your two hands around like a helicopter.]
It’s a helicopter! [Fly your helicopter 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 ROCK!
[Place your fists in front of your nose and make a long nose like Pinocchio.]
Pinocchio! [Make your nose grow by moving one fist farther and farther from your face!]
Rock, scissors, paper.
Rock, scissors, paper.
One, two, three.
Play with me.
Right hand SCISSORS!
Left hand PAPER!
[Place the paper on top of the scissors and move the paper hand up and down like a seesaw.]
Look, it’s a seesaw! [If you like, pause the music, have all of the students pair off and pretend to ride on seesaws by squatting down and up, down and up, down and up.]
Rock, scissors, paper.
Rock, scissors, paper.
One, two, three.
Play with me.
Right hand SCISSORS!
Left hand ROCK!
[Place the rock on top of the scissors so that it looks like and ice cream cone.]
Mmmm, it’s an ice cream cone! [Pretend to lick your ice cream cone! Say, “I have chocolate. What flavor do you have?” Ask each of the students.] ♫
