Child Lead Tommy Thumb

One of our children has a particular interest in the Tommy Thumb. This week we have incorporated the song into our story time and have been singing about family fingers for our All About Me Topic. This song can easily be adapted to include animals, colours and many other things. Try singing it at home or listening to the song with your children on Youtube.

Tommy Thumb

(“Hands in the air and raise Tommy Thumb”)
Tommy Thumb, Tommy Thumb,
Where are you?
Here I am, here I am,
How do you do?
(“Now it’s Peter Pointer’s turn which is your index finger; he’s the one who points”)
Peter Pointer, Peter Pointer,
Where are you?
Here I am, here I am,
How do you do?
(“Now it's Toby Tall which is your middle finger; he’s the tallest one of them all”)
Toby Tall, Toby Tall,
Where are you?
Here I am, here I am,
How do you do?
(“And now it's Ruby Ring, she’s the fourth one along”)
Ruby Ring, Ruby Ring,
Where are you?
Here I am, here I am,
How do you do?
(“Last, but not least is Baby Small, he’s the littlest finger of all”)
Baby Small, Baby Small,
Where are you?
Here I am, here I am,
How do you do?
(“OK, now for the last time put your fingers in the air, give them a wiggle and wave them everywhere”)
Fingers all, Fingers all,
Where are you?
Here we are, here we are,
How do you do?
Here we are, here we are,
How do you do?
