I have a friend really obsessed with Alice in Wonderland. So this fingerplay is for her! I do this rhyme with a clock that I can adjust the hands to represent the right time. I used images from Mollie Johanson at Wild Olive: Handmade Crafts and Cuteness. This fingerplay works well in both baby storytime and preschool storytime.
"What time is it?" asked curious Alice.
(Sign for time)
"1 o'clock!" replied Mr. Rabbit
(Hold up one finger, make bunny ears with one hand)
And off he hopped for Red Queen's palace.
(Hop bunny ears)
He hopped left. He hopped right.
(Hop bunny ears left, then right)
He hopped right out of sight!
(Hide hands behind your back)
Hop! Hop! Hop! (Bounce or lift child three times)
A nice throwback to a children's classic.
