Videos of Rhymes, Fingerplays, Chants and Songs

Well, in the library world, we use a lot of rhymes, fingerplays and songs to help develop literacy skills. Thanks to the Internet, videos abound that show you motions to go along with the song or rhymes. I use them all the time! Check them out below!

And, of course, YouTube has tons of videos. You can search by fingerplay or song title, but to get you started check out some of these- Cullens ABC, Pamela Sunshine, King County Library (Tell Me A Story) and Musser Library.
