Summer Swim: Action Rhyme

Ms. Christina demonstrates her original action rhyme for identifying sea creatures … and one imaginary monster.

Lyrics:

Went for a swim 

in the deep blue sea 

I saw a jelly 

but it didn’t see me 

Went for a swim 

in the deep blue sea 

I saw a dolphin 

but it didn’t see me 

Went for a swim 

in the deep blue sea 

I saw a shark 

but it didn’t see me 

Went for a swim 

in the deep blue sea 

I saw a whale 

but it didn’t see me 

Went for a swim 

in the deep blue sea 

I saw a monster 

and it saw me 

Ahhhhh!

Don’t worry, I’m a friendly monster.

I just want to PLAY.
