Song: “My Big Blue Boat” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
I love to row in my big blue boat, (Pretend to row)
Big blue boat, big blue boat.
I love to row in my big blue boat
Out on the deep blue sea.
My big blue boat has two white sails, (Raise arms above head and wave)
Two white sails, two white sails.
My big blue boat has two white sails
Out on the deep blue sea.
My big blue boat goes up and down, (Bend knees)
Up and down, up and down.
My big blue boat goes up and down
Out on the deep blue sea.
My big blue boat goes side to side, (Sway from right to left)
Side to side, side to side.
My big blue boat goes side to side
Out on the deep blue sea.
My big blue boat rocks back and forth, (Rock forward and back)
Back and forth, back and forth.
My big blue boat rocks back and forth
Out on the deep blue sea.
My big blue boat turns round and round, (Turn in a circle)
Round and round, round and round.
My big blue boat turns round and round
Out on the deep blue sea.
So, come for a row in my big blue boat, (Pretend to row)
My big blue boat, my big blue boat.
So come for a row in my big blue boat
Out on the deep blue sea.

Rhyme: “Motorboat, Motorboat”
Motorboat, motorboat, go so slow, (Move arms in a circle slowly or lie on back and bicycle legs)
Motorboat, motorboat, go so fast, (Move arms in a circle fast or move legs)
Motorboat, motorboat, push on the gas!
VROOOOOM!
(Repeat rhyme)
Flannel: “5 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 did begin to rock, (Lean side to side)
And 1 sailboat returned to dock.
(Repeat until there are no sailboats left.)
