Book: Puffin Peter by Petr Horáček
Song: “The Ocean Song” (Tune: “Do Your Ears Hang Low?”)
Oh, the ocean is great and the ocean is grand. (put your arms out wide)
There are lots of tall ships and very little land. (hands together up, and then down)
And we sleep down deep in a hammock near the floor (snuggle into your hammock)
And this is what we do when we go out the door: (open up a door)
We ride the waves up, we ride the waves down (rollercoaster arms up and down)
We ride the waves up, we ride the waves down (or stand up and down)
We ride the waves up, we ride the waves down (or lift your baby up and down)
And we turn around. (roll your hands around each other)

Book: I’m the Biggest Thing in the Ocean by Kevin Sherry
Song: “An Orca Whale” (Tune: “Ram Sam Sam”)
An orca whale, an orca whale, (arm waves across body like whale in waves)
Little sea scallops, (hands open and close like a shell)
And an orca whale.
An orca whale, an orca whale,
Little sea scallops,
And an orca whale.
Sea otter, sea otter, (fists beat on chest)
Little sea scallops, and an orca whale.
Sea otter, sea otter,
Little sea scallops, and an orca whale.

Flannel: “Five Whales in the Bathtub”
One whale in a bathtub, going for a swim.
Knock, knock, splash, splash, come on in!
Repeat, counting up to five whales:
Five whales in a bathtub, going for a swim.
Knock, knock, splash, splash, they all fell in!
