At the Beach

(tune: Are You Sleeping?)

with props

Put your hat on, put your hat on
Sunscreen too, sunscreen too
Run down to the water, run down to the water
It’s cool and blue, cool and blue.
 
Get your buckets, get your shovels
Come let’s dig, come let’s dig
We will build a castle, we will build a castle
Tall and big, tall and big.
 
Throw a beach ball, catch a beach ball
With a friend, with a friend
Be careful as the wind blows, you never know where it will go
Down the beach, down the beach.

I Went to the Beach

I went to the beach and what did I see?  (make binoculars with hands)
A bird on the sand looking at me. (make beak—pointer finger and thumb)

I went to the beach and what did I see?  (make binoculars with hands)
A fish in the water splashing at me. (make fish with ONE hand)

I went to the beach and what did I see?  (make binoculars with hands)
A shell in the sand sparkling at me. (2 cupped hands, hinge open)

I went to the beach and what did I see?  (make binoculars with hands)
A crab in its shell waving at me (make hand into C shape and pinch)

All the Fish are Swimming
Flannel board

One blue fish is swimming in the water
Swimming in the water, swimming in the water
One blue fish is swimming in the water
Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, SPLASH!
Two red fish are swimming in the water
Swimming in the water, swimming in the water
Two red fish are swimming in the water
Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, SPLASH!
Three yellow fish are swimming in the water
Swimming in the water, swimming in the water
Three yellow fish are swimming in the water
Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, SPLASH!
All the fish are swimming in the water
Swimming in the water, swimming in the water
All the fish are swimming in the water
Bubble, bubble, bubble, bubble, SPLASH!
