My Favorite Gloves — Fingerplay by Ms. Christina, Idea by Ms. Kate
Ms. Christina @rhymesing shares an original fingerplay, “My Favorite Gloves,” requested by Ms. Kate and inspired by her fantastic pair of rainbow gloves, coming soon! When you do this song in storytime, ask the kids about their gloves and sub out the word “favorite” for any adjectives you like.
Here, Ms. Christina uses the words “winter” and “silver.”
LYRICS:
My fingers love, love, love
My favorite gloves, gloves, gloves
They make my fingers happy
From my pinkies to my thumbs
Oh, how I love to count them all
From 10 right down to none
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, none!
Oh, my favorite gloves are just so fun, fun, fun
Origins:
Idea: Ms. Kate
Tune and Lyrics: Ms. Christina.

Mittens for the snow time (actions)
When the world is white
Mittens for my two hands
Mittens left and right
Mittens with a thumb place
Mittens warm and snug
Mittens make me feel like a bug inside a rug.
