Sing a Song

The Waves in the Sea

(sung to the tune of “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 two hands together, joined at the wrist, to form a mouth, snap open and 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)

Watch

Slippery Fish, a funny song for kids
