Guest Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 As part of our termly topic about Houses & Homes we're venturing 'under the sea' this week and I am struggling with songs and action rhymes for this and am beginning to panic as our children respond particularly well to these. I know you are all brilliant and will have loads of suggestions! Thanks!

AnonyMouse_4544 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 The Lively Music Scheme has a song called underwater
AnonyMouse_3735 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 (edited) our children adore the jelly fish song...... 3 jelly fish 3 jelly fish sitting in a rock, sitting on a rock one fell off (now you tale a big breath and make a sound like a jelly fish falling off a rock!!! sorry cannot decribe it but make a wobbly sound going down the scale and shake your arms in a downward movement and your body!!!) Then onto 2 jelly fish... we use makaton signs for jelly, fish, sitting, on ,rock, fell off at appropriate times......as well as the wobble.... (they often say but jelly fish dont sit on rocks!!)

AnonyMouse_2732 Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 Our jelly fish sit in a dish!! But they don't do that either!!! It's good to count back up again, as well - although a bit hard trying to reverse the sound ! Yes, it really takes their fancy! Sue
