Here are the Waves

Here are the waves, the waves in the sea
(Make wave motion with arms)

Here is the boat
(Cup hand to make boat)

And here is me
(With other hand, place finger in boat)

All the fishes down below
(wiggle fingers beneath the boat)

Wiggle their tails and away they go
(wiggle fingers then hide hands behind your back)

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.)

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
