Woodpecker

Woodpecker

Tap, tap, tap goes the woodpecker
(Children make a beak using their thumb and first finger.)

As he pecks a hole in a tree
(Children make a ‘tree’ with their other arm and taps on it with
their ‘beak.’)

He is making a house with a window
To peep at you and me
(Children form a circle with their thumb and first finger, hold it up to
their eye and peek through.)
