Slippery Fish for the Felt Board








Slippery Fish, Slippery Fish,
Swimming in the water
Slippery Fish, Slippery Fish,
Gulp, Gulp, Gulp

This was one of the first songs I learnt in the Early Childhood Field. I worked one on one with a girl who was hearing impaired and she use to sign along with me to fish, eating and the "oh no!" by emphatically and joyfully putting her hands to her cheeks.

Later, when my son was a toddler, it was one of his favourite songs, and we use to sing it together. He loved the ending! Such fond memories

It is a classic song for young children.  Thank you Charlotte Diamond!

Ocean Theme and the Felt Board



The other day, the daycare where I work, visited the library for storytime. The librarian carried out an ocean theme with books, songs and felt stories. Of course, she sang Slippery Fish, a classic. But, she also sang a new one for me, following the song/rhyme Five Little Monkeys but instead singing with fish and a shark:

Five little fishies swimming in the sea
Teasing Mr. Shark, "you can't catch me, no you can't catch me"
Along came the Shark as quiet as can be
And snap!

Four little fishies.....

My following collection contributes to an Ocean Theme. Please click on the photo for the blog entry and further information.

Five Little Sea Creatures Felt Board Poem




Five little sea creatures on the ocean floor.

The lobster walked away. Now there are four.                   

Four little sea creatures living in the sea.                

The octopus crept away. Now there are three.

Three little sea creatures wondering what to do.
 
Good-bye said the starfish. Now there are two.

Two little sea creatures not having much fun.              

Off swam the seahorse. Now there is one

One little hermit crab, sad and all alone.

He went home, and now there are none.

Back came the seahorse, back came the starfish,

Back came the octopus, back came the lobster,

Then they all went home.
