"Where Is Thumbkin" is an English-language nursery rhyme, action song, and children's song of American origin.
[1] The song is sung to the tune of "Frère Jacques".
The song and actions have long been used in children's play, and in teaching in nursery, pre-school and kindergarten settings, as it uses simple and repetitive phrases, and tactile, visual and aural signals.
[2][3] The song's most common lyrics are: Where is thumbkin?
One action is performed for each line of the song.
Child holds hands behind back and sings.
Brings one hand to front and sings.
Brings other hand to front and sings.
Wiggles first thumb and sings.
Wiggles second thumb and sings.
