Wiggle, Squiggle, Slimy Worms
 *Finger Play Wiggle Worms Here are some worms who are, oh, so sad. They’ve
lost all the wiggles that they once had. They wonder if you, just for today. Would
lend them your wiggles so they can play Wiggle them up and wiggle them down (have the
children wiggle arms up and down) Wiggle your worms around and around (wiggle arms
around in a circle) Wiggle them high and wiggle them low (wiggle arms high and wiggle
arms low) Wiggle them fast and wiggle them slow (wiggle arms fast and wiggle
arms slow) Wiggle them over your shoes and your socks (wiggle finger over shoe,
and wiggle finger on sock) Then wiggle them back up to their box (then have children pretend
to place their worm in a box on their lap) Thank
you for sharing your wiggles today. You’ll get them back when it’s your
time to play. Now that your wiggles are all gone from you, I’ll
tell you just what we are going to do. Five Little Worms Written by:

Home Have children place gravel in the bottom of a small aquarium. Next have the children fill the
aquarium with potting soil. On top place dry leaves. Place some earth worms in the aquarium
and cover with damp towels. Wrap the aquarium with black paper so no light will get in. After
a few days remove the paper and the children can observe the tunnels the earth worms have made. Also remove
the paper towels so the children can see that the worms eating the leaves and turning it into dirt. Store
your worm habitat in a cool area and when children are not observing the worms keep the damp towels on top.
