Five Little Seashells
Five little seashells sleeping on the shore
Swish! went a big wave, and then there were four
Four little seashells quiet as can be
Swish! went a big wave, and then there were three
Three little seashells pearly and new
Swish! went a big wave, and then there were two
Two little seashells having great fun
Swish! went a big wave, and then there was one
One little seashell lying in the sun
Swish! went a big wave, and then there were none

Waves in the Sea
(to the tune of: Wheels on the Bus)
The waves on the sea go up and down (raise and lower arms)
up and down, up and down
the waves on the sea go up and down
all day long

The shark in the sea goes snap, snap, snap (clap your hands)
snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap
the shark in the sea goes snap, snap, snap
all day long

The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish (swish hand back and forth)
swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish
the fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish
all day long

The boats in the sea go toot, toot, toot (bob hand up and down)
toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot
the boats in the sea go toot, toot, toot
all day long
