Valentines Song Fingerplay
by Nancy Stewart © 2000


(For scissors, form scissors with index and middle fingers, open and close as if cutting)
(For paper, hold out flat hand)
(For glue, make fist as if holding a glue stick)


With a little paper, scissor and glue,
scissors and glue, scissors and glue
With a little paper, scissors, paper and glue I’ll make a valentine just for you

First I’m gonna draw a big red heart
(draw a heart in the air each time you sing)

Big red heart, a big red heart
First I’m gonna draw a big red heart
to make a valentine just for you

Take a pair of scissors and I’ll cut it out
(pretend to cut each time you sing)

Cut it out, cut it out
I’ll take a pair of scissors and I’ll cut it out
to make a valentine just for you

Take a little glue and I’ll stick it down
(clap hands every time you sing “stick”)
 
Stick it down, stick it down
I’ll take a little glue and I’ll stick it down
to make a valentine just for you

Then when you open it you will see
(form circles with hands and hold to eyes) 

You will see, you will see
How well I can draw, and cut, and glue
(pause after each while you act out)

To make a valentine just for you

(point to a friend)
