Activities:
Big Round Sun
The big round sun in the summer sky
(form large circle with arms)
Winked at a cloud that was passing by.
(wink eye)
The little cloud laughed as it scattered rain,
(flutter fingers downward)
Then out came the big round sun again.
(form large circle with arms)
A Day at the Beach
Ocean breeze blowing
(sway arms back and forth)
Feet kick and splash
Ocean waves breaking on rocks with a CRASH!
(clap hands)
Boys finding seashells
(pretend to pick up shells)
Girls sifting sand
(pour sand between hands)
Friends building castles as high as they can!
(reach up high)
Waves at the Beach
(Tune: The Wheels on the Bus)
The waves at the beach go up and down,
Up and down, up and down.
The waves at the beach go up and down, all day long!
The crabs at the beach crawl back and forth…
The lobsters at the beach go snap, snap, snap…
The clams at the beach go open and shut…
The jellyfish at the beach go wibble, wobble, wibble
Crafts:
Kool-Aid Painting
Sprinkle unsweetened Kool-Aid on a piece a paper. Let the children move a piece of ice over the Kool-Aid. Watch as the Kool-Aid turns to liquid and makes a yummy smelling picture. (NOTE: Kool-aid does stain, particularly the red kind, so wear old clothes or aprons!)
