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.
