The Waves in the Sea (to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus", from AnnesLibraryLife)
The waves in the sea go up and down, (bend knees up and down)
Up and down, up and down,
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.

Additional verses:
The shark in the sea goes snap, snap, snap (clap hands)
The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish, (swish hands back and forth)
The boats in the sea go toot, toot, toot, (pretend to honk horn)

If You're a Sea Creature and You Know It (to the tune of "If You're Happy and You Know It")
If you're a fish and you know it flap your fins..
If you're a shark and you know it chomp your teeth..
If you're an octopus and you know it wiggle your arms...

Dance to "The Goldfish" by Laurie Berkner

Teasing Mr. Shark (from Canton Public Library)
Five Little Fish,
Swimming in the sea,
Teasing Mr. Shark,
You can't catch me,
You can't catch me,
Along came Mr. Shark,
As quiet as can be...
SNAP!
Four little fish swimming in the sea... (count down until all fish are gone)
