Book: Beach Feet by Kiyomi Konagaya, illustrated by Masamitsu Saito, translated by Yuki Kaneko
Song: “Beach Song” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
(I drew a picture of each thing in the song on the whiteboard so the participants could follow along.)
The sun at the beach is shining bright,
Shining bright,
Shining bright,
The sun at the beach is shining bright
All through the day.
The waves of the sea come rolling in,
Rolling in,
Rolling in,
The waves of the sea come rolling in
All through the day.
The crabs near the rocks go pinch, pinch, pinch,
Pinch, pinch, pinch,
Pinch, pinch, pinch,
The crabs near the rocks go pinch, pinch, pinch
All through the day.
The sand underfoot goes crunch, crunch, crunch,
Crunch, crunch, crunch,
Crunch, crunch, crunch,
The sand underfoot goes crunch, crunch, crunch,
All through the day.

Flannel: “Going to the Beach” (Tune: “The Farmer in the Dell”)
I’m going to the beach,
I’m going to the beach!
I think I’ll see a (say a beach item) there,
I’m going to the beach.
Repeat with other beach items.
