outside
sun
flower
Close your hand twice, each time
pulling it slightly away from you,
like your hand is going outside.
First, draw an imaginary circle in
the sky. Then open your fingers to
show the sun’s warm rays.
Pretend to smell a flower.
Tap it on one side of your nose
and then on the other side.
grass
bug
wind
Open one hand and gently brush
your palm up your chin a few
times. It looks like you are resting
your chin in the grass!
Touch your thumb to your nose
and bend your pointer and
middle finger up and down twice,
to show the bug’s antennae.
Your open hands sway from side
to side, to show the wind blowing.
tree
Rest your elbow on your hand
and spread your fingers to make
a tree. Twist your open hand a bit,
like leaves shaking in the wind.
leaf
Open one hand to show the leaf.
Place your pointer finger on it like
a stem. Shake your open hand
while floating both hands down
like a falling leaf.
sky
Start with your arm flat in
front of your body, then show
the sky overhead.

cloud
rain
snow
Make a C with each hand and
trace the shape of a puffy cloud
in the sky.
Hold your hands up, and then
bring them down a few times in
short, straight lines to show the
rain falling.
Open both hands and float them
down while wiggling your fingers.
Imagine snowflakes dancing to
the ground!
day
night
moon
With your elbow on your hand,
your pointer finger shows the sun
going across the sky.
The wrist of your bent hand sits on
the back of your other wrist, like
the sun going down for the night.
Make a moon shape with your pointer
finger and thumb next to your eye,
and then put it up in the sky.
stars
Pointing up at the stars, brush
your pointer fingers up and down
past each other.
