SONGS

GATHERING SEASHELLS (to tune of “Caissons go Rolling Along”)

Over here, over there, seashells lying everywhere; Seashells lying all over the sand. Sand dollars, clamshells too, some are purple, some are blue And they’re lying all over the sand. Then I pick them up and put them in my cup Treasures for kids like you and me! Next I’ll look for more at the ocean’s shore Those seashells all over the sand.

LET’S GO TO THE BEACH (to tune of “A-Hunting We will Go”)

Let's go to the beach To swim and play and run. Building castles in the sand Is ever so much fun.

We'll fix a picnic lunch And eat it when we like. And when we all are nice and full We'll take a nature hike.

Be sure to wear your suit And bring along your float. We'll ride so far out in the surf Pretending it's a boat.

We'll find some pretty shells And throw the gulls some bread. Put on a lot of suntan oil So that we don't turn red.

We'll never want to leave. Such fun this all has been. But we'll come back another day And do it all again!

DOWN BY THE SEASHORE (to tune of "Down by the station")

Down by the seashore, early in the morning See the little children, ready for some fun See the happy grown-ups, spreading out the blankets Watch the little children, to the shore they run. Splashing in the water, digging in the sand Splash, splash, dig, dig, the seashore is such fun! 4

MR. LOBSTER & MRS. CRAB (to tune of “Old MacDonald”)

Mr. Lobster and Mrs. Crab Pinch and snap all day. Mr. Lobster and Mrs. Crab Pinch and snap all day. With a pinch pinch here and a snap, snap there. Here a pinch, There a snap, Everywhere a pinch, snap. Mr. Lobster and Mrs. Crab Pinch and snap all day.

DEEP BLUE SEA (to tune of “Wheels on the Bus”)

I’m goin’ fishin’ in the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea, the deep blue sea. I’m goin’ fishin’ in the deep blue sea. Wanna go fishin’ with me?

We’re ridin’ in a boat on the deep blue sea… We’re castin’ our line in the deep blue sea… We’re bringin’ home the fish from the deep blue sea…wanna’ have dinner with me?

OCTOPUS SONG – (to tune of "Three Blind Mice")

Octopus, Octopus In the Sea, In the Sea To swim they use all 8 of their arms Their color changes to hide them from harm They live in the sea, not on a farm The Octopus

DO YOU SEE (to tune of “Do You Know the Muffin Man?”) Do you see a jellyfish, A Jellyfish, a jellyfish Do you see a jellyfish A-swimming in the sea?

Do you see a sea turtle… Do you see an octopus… Do you see a tiger shark… Do you see a sea urchin…

WE'RE GOING TO THE BEACH (to tune of "The Farmer in the Dell") 5

We're going to the beach, We're going to the beach. High-ho, the dairy-o, We're going to the beach

(add other verses) We're going to find some shells... We're going to splash and swim...

AT THE BEACH (to tune of “Frere Jacques”) Make a sand cake, make a castle In the sand, in the sand. Pouring, measuring, digging, Pouring, measuring, digging Just feels grand, just feels grand.

Sand is gritty, sand is gritty, At the beach, at the beach. Sand is many tiny rocks Broken down from bigger rocks, At the beach, at the beach.

DOWN UNDER THE SEA (to tune of “Home on the Range”) Down under the sea, Where the dolphins swim free, And the sand and the sea grasses sway, Where the starfish shine bright, And the dogfish don't bite, I ride my seahorse all day.

(chorus) Down under the sea, Where the whales sing and dive deep, We chase and rope sharks, Until it gets dark, When the waves gently rock us to sleep.

Down under the sea, My seahorse takes me, On a ride through coral and caves. We round up fish there, Rescue mermaids so fair, My seahorse and I are quite brave!

OTHER FUN STUFF 6

SHELL MATCHUP

Find several pairs of different types of shells. Place the shells in a clear container, such as a plastic food container of glass bowl. Let children take turns sorting through the shells, finding those that match, and setting the pairs out on a table.

CRAB WALK

Sit on the floor. Place hands behind you. Bend knees and keep your feet flat on the floor. Now lift your bottom off the floor, Try to keep your stomach flat. Crabs mostly move sideways, but they can also move forward and backward.

OCTOPUS

Materials: 1 pillowcase, 4 pairs of pantyhose, felt, newspaper, yarn

1. Cut eyes and mouth from felt and sew to pillowcase.

2. Stuff the pantyhose with crinkled-up newspaper

(Variation: Sew Velcro to face. Make various expressions (sad, happy, etc.) for face. Let kids change the face)

POEM - OCEAN SHELL

I found a great big shell one day, Upon the ocean floor. I held it close up to my ear, And heard the ocean roar.

I found a tiny little shell, Upon the ocean sand. The waves had worn it nice and smooth, It felt nice in my hand.

OCEAN SOUNDS

Let the children listen to the "ocean waves" by putting their ears up to a sea shell.

SAILBOAT Materials: Appliance box, wooden dowel (6 feet long), white sheet, paint, masking tape, scissors

1. For the sail… Cut a white sheet into triangular shape slightly longer than the box. Cut 3 slits in the triangle for the dowel. 2. Lay the box on its side. Cut off one long side of the box. Cut a curve and a small hole on opposite sides of the box. 3. At the opposite end of the two small holes, cut 2 sets of slits in one flap of the box. Insert the dowel through the slits. Tape the flaps on both ends of the box closed. 4. Paint the boat and dowel and let dry. 5. Thread the dowel through the slits of the sail. Tape the top of the sail to the dowel. Tie a piece of yarn to the other end of the sail and secure it through the hole at other end.

SUBMARINE

Use a Large cardboard box (refrigerator) on side. Cut out portholes in sides of box. Add a periscope using cracker boxes. Let children play inside.

WAVE MACHINE

Fill a small glass or plastic jar two-thirds full with water. Add a couple drops of blue food coloring and mix well. Then fill up the rest of the jar with mineral oil, getting rid of as many air bubbles as possible. Secure the lid. Let children hold the bottle sideways and gently tip it to create waves.

WAVE MACHINE 2 (For a demonstration ONLY… Materials are not suitable for children to handle.) Use a large jar and 1 cup rubbing alcohol 1 cup turpentine mixture. Add a few drops of food coloring. This wave is extremely long-lasting and fairly impressive, but the materials should not be allowed into the hands of children.

GAMES 8

SCHOOL OF FISH

1. Mark a starting line and a finish line, opposite of one another about 10 feet apart. 2. Choose one child to be shark. 3. Remaining children are school of fish and line up behind the start line holding each other's waists. 4. At signal, school of fish tries to cross the finish line while shark tries to tag the last fish in line. The school of fish can sway or spiral to protect last fish. 5. If shark tags last fish, he continues playing shark. If school of fish crosses the finish line without getting caught, the head of the school of fish becomes the next shark, and the shark becomes the next tail.

FISH, FISH, SHARK

This game is based on the game duck, duck, goose. The children are in a circle and one child walks around tapping the other children on the head saying fish each time until they say shark one time. This child then runs around the circle chasing the other child to see who gets back to the empty space first.

UNDER THE SEA

MATERIALS: 1 twin sheet (preferably blue) precut pictures of sea animals (1 per child)

Put pictures on the floor and lay sheet on top. Ask each child to stand around edge and pick up sheet. Make waves by moving sheet up and down. While you are making waves, talk about what they may find in an ocean. Call one or two children at a time to "swim" under sheet and pick up a picture. When they surface, they should tell group what they found. If they cannot tell what it is, they can put it back or have group help. As pictures are identified, toss them on top of the sheet and let them bounce in the waves

PIN THE LEGS ON THE OCTOPUS

Play like Pin the Tail on the Donkey. (Basically, everyone wins!)

BEACH BALL FUN

1. Play Keep away. 2. Try to bounce the ball on your head without it touching the ground. 3. Have 2 children hold either end of a beach towel and bounce the ball on the towel. 4. Sit in a circle and roll the beach ball to each other

SNACKS 9
