Instructions

Say the following rhyme, using your finger as the worm.
I saw a tiny worm wiggling on the ground,
He wiggled around making not a sound,
He wiggled here, he wiggled there, and then he turned around.
He wiggled one more time, then went into the ground! (hide finger inside
fingers of opposite hand)
