They are my fingers

  • Expression of affection and emotions
  • Appreciation of differences between people

Today we are going to play with puppets.

Each one of the fingers of one hand (or some fingers of both hands) will be one member of our family: daddy, mummy, grandma, grandpa, our brother, me... (we will decorate our fingers by drawing eyes, mouths, noses... on them).

The teacher will name several combinations:
"Mummy loves daddy", "mummy loves me", "grandpa loves daddy", "mummy and daddy love grandma and grandpa", "all of us love the entire family", ... And when someone loves someone else, they kiss each other (children have to join the correspondent fingers, as if the fingers were kissing one another).
