Fish Are Swimming
Sing to tune of "Frere Jacques"
author unknown
Fish are swimming, fish are swimming,
In the sea, in the sea,
A-splishing and a-splashing,
A-splishing and a-splashing,
Look and see, look and see.
Other verses:
I hear the ocean,
I hear the ocean,
At the beach,
At the beach,
Crashing, splashing, foaming
Crashing, splashing, foaming,
At the beach,
At the beach.

Off I Go Fishing
author unknown
Off I go a-fishing, a-fishing,a-fishing,
Off I go a-fishing,
To the sparkling brook.
I hope there is a big one, a big one, a big one,
I hope there is a big one,
To nibble on my hook.
First I cast my line in, my line in, my line in, first I cast my line in.
And hold the pole so tight.
Watch the bobber go under, go under, go under,
Watch the bobber go under-
I think I’ve got a bite!
Now I start a-reeling, a-reeling, a-reeling,
Now I start a-reeling,
This fish must weigh a lot!
Here it comes a-wriggling, a-wriggling, a-wriggling
Here it comes a-wriggling-
Just see what I have caught!
Have the kids pantomine the actions when singing this
