Slippery Fish


I’m a Little Fish
(Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)


I’m a little fish-o, (hold up one hand with thumb facing upwards to represent a fish)
Watch me swim. (move hand back and forward)
Here is my tail, (wriggle fingers on fish hand)
and here is my fin. (wriggle thumb)

When I want to have fun,
With my friends,
I swish my tail and dive right in. (swish fish hand around)

The Waves in the Sea
(tune: The Wheels on the Bus)

The waves in the sea go,
Up and down, (make a rolling wave by moving one hand up and down)
Up and down,
Up and down,
The waves in the sea go,
Up and down,
All day long.

The sharks in the sea go
snap, snap, snap… (hold hands together to form a mouth, snap open & shut)

The fish in the sea go
swish, swish, swish… (swim hands around as fish)

The crabs in the sea go
click, click, click… (click fingers)
