Five Little Shells Fingerplay

5 little shells lying on the shore,
Crash went the waves and then their was 4.
4 little shells down by the sea,
Crash went the waves! then there was 3.
3 little shells, smooth as new,
Crash went the waves! then there were 2.
2 little shells, sparkling in the sun,
Crash went the waves! Then there was 1.
1 little shell, left by itself,
I took it home, and put it on my shelf.

The Lighthouse Song
Sung to: "Twinkle, twinkle little star"

Twinkle, twinkle little light,
Flashing brightly through the night,
When it's stormy you must show,
All the sailors where to go,
Twinkle, twinkle little light,
Flashing brightly through the night.

The Waves Move
Sung to: "The farmer in the dell"

The waves move up and down,
Without making a sound.
they move through water and through air,
The waves move up and down.
The waves move up and down,
Without making a sound.
They move everywhere,
The waves move up and down.

Sung to: "Frere Jacques"

I see sea gulls
I see sea gulls,
At the beach,
At the beach,
Soaring, diving, fishing,
Soaring, diving, fishing,
At the beach,
At the beach.

I hear the ocean,
I hear the ocean,
At the beach,
At the beach,

Crashing, splashing, foaming
Crashing, splashing, foaming,
At the beach,
At the beach.

FIVE LITTLE FISHIES
finger play: put the appropriate number of fingers up with one hand and use your other hand to "swim" your "fish" around.

Five little fishies swimming at the store, one was bought and then there were four!
Four little fishies swimming by me, one was bought and then there were three!
Three little fishies swimming by you, one was bought and then there were two!
Two little fishies swimmin' for fun, one was bought and then there was one!
One little fishy swimmin' all alone, I bought him and took him home!

"I'm a Little Fishy" Tune of "I'm a little tea pot"

I'm a little fishy, watch me swim Here is my tail, here is my fin, When I want to have fun with my friends, I wiggle my tail an dive right in!
Catch a Fish (Tune: Row, Row, Row your boat)
Catch,catch,catch a fish,
Hook it on your line.
Reel it, reel it, reel it,
This one will be mine.

To "The Wheels on the Bus"

The sharks in the sea go chomp, chomp, chomp!
chomp, chomp, chomp!
chomp, chomp, chomp!
The sharks in the sea go chomp, chomp, chomp!
All through the day!
We had the kids tell us different sea creatures and this is what they told us:
The fish in the sea go swim, swim, swim...
The lobsters in the sea go pinch, pinch, pinch...
The octopus in the sea go wiggle wiggle wiggle...
The sea horse in the sea rocks back and forth...
The whale in the sea goes quirt squirt squirt...
The clam in the sea goes open and shut...
The crabs in the sea go click click click...
The jellyfish in the sea go "bloop bloop bloop"!
