Fingerplay:
The waves in the ocean go up and down,
Up and down, up and down.
The waves in the ocean go up and down,
Al through the day.
Continue:
Crabs…pinch, pinch, pinch
Sails on the mast…swish, swish, swish
Cannons on the ship…boom, boom, boom
Fish…jump up and down
Fingerplay: Tune of Frere Jacques
Fish are swimming,
Fish are swimming,
In the sea, in the sea.
Splishing and splashing (wave arms)
Splishing and splashing
Look and see, look and see.
Continue: Fish are jumping. Fish are spinning.
