where they bend
that's the way this touch game ends

Ten Little Fingers
I have ten fingers and they all belong to me
I can make them do things. Would you like to see?

I can make them jump high
I can make them go low
I can fold them quietly and hold them just so

Right Hand, Left Hand
This is my right hand, I raise it up high
This is my left hand, I touch the sky
Right, hand, left hand
Roll them round and round
Right hand, left hand
Let's all sit down

Clap Your Hands

I Use my Five Senses (tune: Farmer in the Dell)

and when I want to touch something, I use my hands to touch
