These is a super cute Christmas poem that my son learned in Kindergarten. I had never heard the Five Little Stockings rhyme before and was so impressed that he has memorized it. You can turn this into a finger rhyme by wiggling a different finger for each one of the five stockings. For more rhymes, check out my Rhymes Page — it has lots of action, finger and counting rhymes, as well as nursery rhymes.
Turn this into a finger rhyme by wiggling a finger for each of the five stockings. Start with your thumb for the first stocking, and keep wiggling fingers until you reach your pinky on the fifth stocking. Clap your hands together when you say “out went the light” and then wiggle all of the fingers at the same time when the stockings get filled!
FIVE LITTLE STOCKINGS
Five little stockings hanging by the fire,
The first one said, “I’m getting tired.”
The second one said, “Santa’s in the air!”
The third one said, “But we sure care!”
The fourth one said, “I hear sleigh bells ringing!”
The fifth one said, “It’s the joy he’s bringing.”
Then ding went the clock and out went the light.
And five little stockings got filled that night!
