Song: “Have You Ever Seen a Sailboat?” (Tune: “Have You Ever Seen a Lassie?”)
Have you ever seen a sailboat, a sailboat, a sailboat (hand on forehead, looking)
Have you ever seen a sailboat that’s waving its sail? (wave arms high)
Wave this way and that way and that way and this way (wave arms side to side)
Have you ever seen a sailboat that’s waving its sail?
Flannel Rhyme: “Five Sailboats” (Tune: “Five Little Ducks”)
5 sailboats went out one day (hold up 5 fingers)
Over the waves and far away (move hand up and down)
With the wind they begin to rock (lean side to side)
And 1 little sailboat returns to dock.
Repeat until there are no little sailboats left.

Shaker Eggs: “Shake it High”
Shake it high,
Shake it low,
Round and round is how we go.
Shake it high,
Shake it low,
Can you reach and touch your toes?
Shake it high,
Shake it low,
Touch your shaker to your nose.
Shake it high,
Shake it low,
Round and round is how we go.
