Beach Day!

ABC Welcome

Movement

Let's pretend we are going to the beach!

Walk in parking lot.

    I can walk on two feet, on two feet, on two feet

    I can walk on two feet, all day long.

Rund when we get to the sand

    I can run on two feet, on two feet, on two feet

    I can walk on two feet, all day long.

Sand gets in your shoes!  Take them off!  Oh, but the sand is HOT!

    I can hop on one foot, on one foot, on one foot

    I can hop on one foot, all day long.

Get to the water and jump in!

    I can jump on two feet, on two feet, on two feet

    I can jump on two feet, all day long.

Song

At the Beach, At the Beach

(tune: Are you sleeping?)

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 dis

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.

Parent Tip

Monkey Ono wrote and drew about the plans he made.  Parents, when your child sees you write you are teaching print awareness, an understanding that print has meaning.  Show your child what you are writing and read what it says.  Together you could make a list of things you will do.  This encourages your child to begin to explore putting pencil or crayong to paper--one of the first steps to writing!

Three Little Sandcastles

We are 3 little sandcastles sitting on the beach

Watching the boats go by

3 little sandcastles sitting on the beach

Watching the seagulls fly

3 little sandcastles sitting on the beach

Watching the clouds so high

When along came a wave and washed one away

And this is what the other ones said...

Continue with two and one

End: And now they've got nothing to say.

Animal Goodbyes

See ya later, Alligator

Give a kiss, Goldfish

Give a hug, Ladybug

Toodooloo, Kangaroo

Bye-bye, Butterfly

Out the Door, Dinosaur!
