Honesty

Finger play "I Need To Be Honest" 

Say each line and have a child repeat.  Say the first two lines and let the child repeat.  Continue until the first four lines are learned.  When the child is ready, continue the same way for the second stanza.

Have the child memorize all eight lines.  Ask the child to say fingerplay at various times during the week.  Write down the fingerplay on an index card while child recites and keep in a special spot (envelope, card file, kitchen cupboard, etc.) to be referred to later.
