“Where is Thumbkin?” is an English-language nursery rhyme and action song for children, sung to the tune of “Frère Jacques.” The rhyme features a playful finger game where each finger is personified with a name—Thumbkin (thumb), Pointer (index finger), Tallman (middle finger), Ringman (ring finger), and Pinky (little finger).
The song is structured as a call-and-response conversation: one person asks where a finger character is, the finger “appears” and replies, they exchange polite greetings, and then the finger “runs away” by being hidden again.
This interactive rhyme helps children learn finger names, practice social greetings, and develop fine motor skills through coordinated hand movements.
