Song with cards: “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.

Flannel (virtual only): “Five Little Sandcastles”
Five little sandcastles built by the shore,
Along came a wave and WHOOSH!
there were four.
Four little sandcastles built by you and me,
Along came a wave and WHOOSH!
there were three.
Three little sandcastles built by me and you,
Along came a wave and WHOOSH!
there were two.
Two little sandcastles built in the sun,
Along came a wave and WHOOSH!
there was one.
One little sandcastle built just for fun,
Along came a wave and WHOOSH!
there were none.

Song: “The Waves in the Sea” (Tune: “The Wheels on the Bus”)
The waves in the sea go up and down,
Up and down, up and down.
The waves in the sea go up and down,
All day long.
The sharks in the sea go snap, snap, snap,
Snap, snap, snap, snap, snap, snap.
The sharks in the sea go snap, snap, snap,
All day long.
The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish,
Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.
The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish,
All day long.
The boats on the sea go toot, toot, toot,
Toot, toot, toot, toot, toot, toot.
The boats on the sea go toot, toot, toot,
All day long.
The crabs in the sea go back and forth,
Back and forth, back and forth.
The crabs in the sea go back and forth,
All day long.
The jellyfish in the sea go wibble, wobble, wibble,
Wibble, wobble, wibble, wibble, wobble, wibble.
The jellyfish in the sea go wibble, wobble, wibble,
All day long.
