Songs and rhymes to share:                  

Baby Beluga:   by Raffi                                                                                       Five Fish

                                                                                                                                One, two, three, four, five,

                                                                                                                                Once I caught a fish alive;

Waves at the Beach     Sung To: " Wheels on the bus"                              Six, seven, eight, nine, ten,

The waves at the beach go up and down…                                                   Then I let him go again.

The waves at the beach go up and down, all day long.                                Why did yo let him go?

- also-                                                                                                     Because he bit my finger so!

The crabs at the beach, crawl back and forth                           Which finger did he bite?

The lobsters at the beach go, snap, snap, snap                                          This little finger on the right!

The clams at the beach will open and shut

The jelly fish go wibble, wobble, wibble                                                         Four Little Fishes
                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                            
   Four little fishes swimming out to sea,
Five Little Fishes
                                                                                                 
One met a shark!...
Five little fishes swimming in a pool.                                                               And then there were three.
The first one said, The pool is cool.                                                                 Three little fishes wondering what to do,
The second one said,The pool is deep.                                                         One hid in a great big shell...
The third one said, I want to sleep.                                                                  And then there were two.
The fourth one said, Let's dive and dip.                                                          Two little fishes looking for some fun,
The fifth one said.I spy a ship.                                                                          One chased after a wave...
The boat comes in, the line goes kerplash.                                                  And that left one.
Away the five little fishies dash!                                                                        One little fish with all his friends gone,
                                                                                                                                Went back home to find his mum...                            
                                                                                                                              
And that left none!

Catch a Fish             (Sing to"Row, Row, Row Your Boat" )  
Catch, catch, catch a fish,                                                                                  Gertie the Goldfish 
hook it on your line.                                                                                             Gertie the Goldfish goes
Reel it, reel it, reel it, reel it                                                                                smack, smack, smack 
  (make kissing sound )
This one will be mine.                                                                                        She looks at me and goes like
                                                                                                                                smack, smack, smack,
 
A Golden Fish                                                                                                      She doesn't laugh, doesn't sing                                                      
A golden fish went swimming by                                                                     doesn't do anything
He swam down low, he swam up high                                                           Just blows big kisses like this
He wriggled his fins and shook his scales                                                    Smack , smack, smack,
And swished his graceful golden tail


Come to the window
Come to the window,
My baby, with me,
And look at the stars
That shine on the sea!
There are two little stars
That play bo-peep
With two little fish
Far down in the deep;
And two little frogs
Cry "Neap, neap, neap;"
I see a dear baby
That should be asleep.

Dance to Your Daddy
Dance to your Daddy,
My little babby,
Dance to your Daddy,
My little lamb.
You shall have a fishy
In a little dishy,
You shall have a fishy
When the boat comes in.


Five Little Fish
One little fishy swimming in the ocean blue
Here comes another one, then there were two.
Two little fishies swimming in the sea.
Here comes another one, then there were three
Three little fishies, swimming near the shore.
Here comes another one, then there were four.
Four little fishies, swimming around and dive
Here comes another one and now there are five
Here comes a shark, looking for some fun
Look out little fishies and away they run.
