Finger Play

(English)
Én kis kertet kerteltem,
bazsarózsát ültettem,
szél fújja, fújdogálja,
eső, eső veregeti, huss!
I've made a small garden,
I've planted peonies,
They're blown by the wind,
They're beaten by the rain, poof!

Older kids can play it themselves:

2. Poking their palm with their index finger,
3. Swinging their hands pretending to be the wind,
4. Shaking their hands pretending to be the rain, and clap once at the end.
