Five Little Eskimos
(Fingerplay)
Five little Eskimos by the igloo door.
One went out to feed the dogs, then there were four.
Four little Eskimos rowing out to sea,

One jumped on an iceberg, then there were three.

Three little Eskimos making fish stew,
One burned his finger, then there were two.
Two little Eskimos hunting for fun,
One chased a baby seal, then there was one.
One little Eskimo all his work done,
Went home to supper, then there were none.

My Igloo
(Fingerplay)
My igloo is round with a tiny door.
(Make a circle with hands and then hold hand low to ground)
It is made of cold ice and snow.
(Pretend to shiver)
The inside is covered with blankets and fur.
(Spread hands over wide area)
So it's warm when the winter winds blow.
(Hug self to keep warm)
