Sailing: Lullaby
Sailing sailing over the water

Row, Row, Row Your Boat: Song/Action
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, Life is but a dream.
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream
If you see a crocodile, don’t forget to scream - Ahh!
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the shore
If you see a dinosaur, don’t forget to roar – Rarr!!
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the river
If you see a polar bear, don’t forget to shiver - Brrr!
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the bay
If you see a pirate ship, Go the other way- Aiiy!

A slippery fish, a slippery fish, swimming in the ocean.
A slippery fish, a slippery fish, Glub. Glub. Glub.
Oh no, I’ve been eaten by a tuna fish!
A tuna fish, a tuna fish, swimming in the ocean.
A tuna fish, a tuna fish, Glub. Glub. Glub.
Oh no, I’ve been eaten by an octopus!
An octopus, an octopus, Swimming in the ocean.
An octopus, an octopus, Glub. Glub. Glub.
Oh no, I’ve been eaten by a great big shark!
A great big shark, a great big shark, Swimming in the ocean.
A great big shark, a great big shark,
Glub. Glub. Glub.
Oh no, I’ve been eaten by a humongous whale!
A humongous whale, a humongous whale,
Swimming in the ocean.
A humongous whale, a humongous whale, Glub. Glub. Glub.
… Burp! Excuse me
or Oh no, I’ve been eaten by a human!
Was it you?
Catch Me and Kiss Me: Rhyme
Catch me and kiss me and say it again
Set sail in a cockle shell boat
If no one fell out then who stayed in?
Catch me and kiss me and say it again.
Rub a Dub Dub: Rhyme
Rub-a-dub-dub three men in a tub
And who do you think they’ll be
The butcher, the baker, the candlestick maker
And all of them gone to the sea
My Big Blue Boat: Song
I love to row in my big blue boat, big blue boat, big blue boat
I love to row in my big blue boat, out in the deep blue sea
My big blue boat has two white sails, two white sails, two white sails
My big blue boat has two white sails, out in the deep blue sea
So come for a ride in my big blue boat, my big blue boat, my big blue boat,
So come for a ride in my big blue boat, out on the deep blue sea
‘Nelly’ Go ‘Cross the Ocean: Circle Dance Action Song
© Kathy Reid-Naiman
__ go ‘cross the ocean, _ go cross the sea
__ go ‘cross the mountain top
But then come back to me
__ go ‘cross the prairies,
__ go ‘cross the plains
__ go ‘cross the desert sands
And then come back again.
__ jump up and down now
__ jump up and down
__ turn round and round and round
And round and round and round.
Waves at the Beach: Song
Tune: The Wheels on the Bus
The waves on the beach go up and down, up and down, up and down
The waves on the beach go up and down,
All day long
Crabs at the beach crawl back and forth, back and forth, back and forth, …
Lobsters at the beach go snap snap snap, snap snap snap, snap snap snap, …
Clams at the beach go open and shut, open and shut, open and shut, … All day long.
