Description

A traditional finger-play song.


As you're singing, you flex the corresponding baby's finger repeatedly (starting with the thumb) and when the old man comes "rolling home", you bend the finger back down and start with the next one.


For older children you do it as a hand-play instead of finger-play. You can see the hand-play version of this song here: This old man -handplay.
