Flannel: “Five Little Boats” (Tune: “Five Little Ducks”)
Five little boats 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)
One little boat returns to the dock.
Repeat until there are no sailboats left.

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, step on the gas! (Use foot and pretend to step on gas)
VROOOOOM!

Song: “My Big Green Boat” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
I love to row in my big green boat, (Pretend to row)
Big green boat, big green boat.
I love to row in my big green boat
Out on the deep blue sea.
My big green boat has two white sails, (Raise arms above head and wave gently)
Two white sails, two white sails.
My big green boat has two white sails
Out on the deep blue sea.
So come for a row in my big green boat, (Pretend to row)
My big green boat, my big green boat.
So come for a row in my big green boat
Out on the deep blue sea.
