Five Little Seashells

Five little seashells sleeping on the shore
(Hold up 5 fingers, bending down one for each verse.)

Swish! went a big wave, and then there were four.
(Move arms, palms up, to make the waves.)
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.

Five little seashells gone out to sea,
(Point out to sea.)
Wait until morning and they'll return to me.
(Point to self.)
