Five Little Fishes

(Fingerplay)

Five little fishes, swimming in a school.      (Hold up 5 fingers, swim with hands)

The first one said, "This water's cool".        (Hold up 1 finger, then shiver)

The second one said, "There's a shark over there!"        (Hold up two fingers,then point)

The third one said, "We'd better beware!"        (Hold up three fingers, look scared)

The fourth one said, "Where can we hide?"       (Hold up four fingers, hold out hands)

The fifth one said, "There's a cave! Go inside!"      (Hold up five fingers, then point.)

Then in went the fish, and the shark went away,

And the five little fishes swam out to play.
