Ecco alcune Play Rhymes, che ho trovato. Se ne avete altre da suggerire sono benvenute:
This Little Piggy
This little piggy went to market,
This little piggy stayed at home,
This little piggy ate roast beef,
This little piggy had none.
And this little piggy went…
“Wee wee wee wee wee”
All the way home…
As you say each line you wiggle each of the baby’s toes, starting with the big toe and wiggling each toe until you’ve done all five. On the last two lines you tickle the child up the leg – as if the “piggy” is running home. This Little Piggyis probably the most well-known rhyme that people do with babies in the English speaking world
Round and Round the Garden (also known as Teddy Bear)
Round and round the garden…
(Run your index finger around child’s palm.)
Like a teddy bear.
One step, two step…
(Walk your fingers up the child’s arm.)
Tickle you under there!
(Tickle under armpit!)
Open, Shut Them
Open, shut them.
Open, shut them.
Give a little clap, clap, clap.
Open, shut them
Open, shut them.
Put them in your lap, lap, lap.
Creep them, creep them,
Creep them, creep them,
Right up to your chin, chin, chin.
Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in.
Open and close your hands when you sing “Open, shut them” and then follow the words to the song and make the corresponding hand movements while you sing. On “do not let them in” hide your hands behind your back.
Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes
Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes,
And eyes and ears and mouth and nose,
Head and shoulders, knees and toes, knees and toes.
Touch your head, then shoulder, then knees, then toes then all over again. At each iteration go a little faster, until you burst into laughter.
How Big is Baby
This is a simple game where you say “How big is (Child’s name)?” Then in a high voice you answer, “So big!” while gently putting the baby’s arms up in the air.
Little kids love that one.
Shoe a Little Horse
Shoe a little horse,
Shoe a little mare,
But let the little colt go
Bare, bare, bare.
Here’s one to recite while gentle tapping the bottom of the baby’s feet…
Brow brinky
Brow brinky,
Eye winky,
Chin choppy,
Nose noppy,
Cheek cherry,
Mouth merry.
Here’s one to say while gently touching the different parts of the baby’s face…
Two Little Hands Go Clap, Clap, Clap
Two little hands go clap, clap, clap,
Two little feet go tap, tap, tap,
Two little legs kick high, high, high,
Two little lips go kiss, kiss, kiss,
Two little arms go hug, hug, hug,
Two little arms wave bye, bye, bye.
While saying this rhyme you can help the child make the associated motions…

Sei papa’ di bambini bilingui?
L.
sono mamma di una bambina bilingue. viviamo in Francia e suo padre è francese.
conosco dei jeux de doigts francesi ma in italiano nessuno. come si chiamano in italiano? e dove li posso trovare?
grazie
Buona domanda, non saprei in tutta sincerita’.
Non mi risulta in Italiano abbiano un nome specifico, e quelli che so li conosco perche’ mia mamma li faceva con me quando ero piccola, insomma per tradizione orale.
Qualcuno puo’ consigliare un sito on un libro?

Ricordo di averne visti alcuni nel libro “Coccole e filastrocche” di Celia Carpi Germani e Giulia Baronchelli edito da Giunti. In realtà il libro l’ho solo sfogliato in libreria quindi non ricordo quante filastrocche con le dita ci siano e se siano in italiano o in dialetti regionali.
