Beach Story Time – Preschool

Opening Song

Book: Noah’s Seal by Layn Marlow

Song: “I Wake Up My Hands”
I wake up my hands with a clap, clap, clap,
A clap, clap, clap, a clap, clap, clap,
I wake up my hands with a clap, clap, clap,
And I wiggle my waggles away.

Additional verses:
Feet – stomp
Head – nod
Belly – beep
Eyes – blink

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.
