You remember The short finger play as a child, "Where is Thumbkin?" ? 
Well, here is a copy to refresh your memory...
Where is Thumbkin  
(Start with hands behind back)
Where is thumbkin?
Where is thumbkin?
Here I am (Bring right hand to front, with thumb up)
Here I am. (Bring left hand to front, with thumb up)
How are you today sir?
Very well, I thank you. (Wiggle thumbs as if they're 'talking' to each 
other)
Run away (Hide right hand behind back)
Run away. (Hide left hand behind back)
Continue with rest of fingers:
Where is pointer? Where is middle man? Where is ring man? Where is 
pinkie? Where's the whole family? 
 
Well, anyway the other day, Something reminded me of some the 
finger plays that my mom played with me.  I remember as a small child 
sitting there in awe as she made the thumb and each finger 
disappear.  However, I always felt so sad cause each finger / thumb 
would run away.  I thought actually that maybe it was because I had 
something to do with it somehow!!!  Talk about abandonment 
issues!!!  But, then I thought of another play she also did with me and 
that was Here is the Church...  
 
Here's the church, 
(fingers interlocked; fingers inside)
And here's the steeple. 
(index fingers rise to a point)
Open the door 
(keep fingers interlocked but turn palms up)
There are all the people.
(wriggle fingers)
 
So,  the Church has been there even when my family ran away.
