Wiggle your fingers

Welcome back to Action Rhymes with Miss Rani and Snowy! Today, we are putting our balance and coordination to the test with a high-energy copycat game! This fun movement rhyme helps us stay active while teaching us all about body control, following fast instructions, and matching sounds. Today’s Action Rhyme & Rhyming Pairs: 🎶 Wiggle your fingers, strike a pose, 🎶 Turn around and touch your nose! 👉 Rhyming Pair: Pose and Nose!🎶 Jump like a lion and let out a roar, 🎶 Freeze right there and move no more! 👉 Rhyming Pair: Roar and More! The Teacher’s Secret (Why This Matters): As a trained Early Years teacher, I love this rhyme because it exercises two important skills at the same time: 1️⃣ Physical & Coordination: Shifting from precise movements like wiggling fingers and touching your nose to an energetic lion jump builds fantastic motor planning and physical agility. Ending with an instant freeze pose is brilliant for developing inhibitory control—teaching children how to stop their bodies completely on command! 2️⃣ Phase 1 Phonics (Rhyme): By highlighting words that sound the same at the end (like pose/nose), we are training your child's brain to spot matching sound patterns, which is a vital step for future reading success. The Home Challenge:After the video finishes, try to remember our rhyming pairs! Can you think of another wild animal action or a word that rhymes with roar and more? (What about door or snore?) A Note for Parents & Carers 🏠 The Best Lion Pose: When it is time to strike a pose or let out a roar, encourage your child to be as expressive as possible! Using their face and hands to show different characters is excellent for emotional expression and creative confidence. One Video a Day: Stick to just this one video today so your child can fully master the actions and lock the matching sound patterns into their memory. #ActionRhymes #MissRaniAndSnowy #PhysicalDevelopment #Phase1Phonics #StrikeAPose #GrossMotorSkills #RhymingPairs #LearningThroughPlay
