Hi there! Let’s have some fun with our fingers and pretend they are little fish swimming in the sea. Are you ready? Let’s start!
Hold up one finger. This is our first little fish. It’s swimming in the sea, splishing and splashing, moving to the beat. Oh look, here comes another fish! Say “hello!”
Now we have two little fish. Hold up two fingers. They are swimming together, splishing and splashing, having so much fun. Oh, here comes another fish! Say “hello!”
Now we have three little fish. Hold up three fingers. They are swimming in the sea, splishing and splashing, moving to the beat. Oh, here comes another fish! Say “hello!”
Now we have four little fish. Hold up four fingers. They are swimming together, splishing and splashing, having a great time. Oh, here comes another fish! Say “hello!”
Now we have five little fish. Hold up all five fingers. They are swimming in the sea, splishing and splashing, moving to the beat. Look at them go!
Now it’s time to wave goodbye to our five little fish. They are swimming away, splishing and splashing. Bye-bye, little fish!
Wasn’t that fun? You did a great job counting and moving your fingers like little fish. Let’s do it again sometime!
Fish Counting Adventure: Go on a fish counting adventure at home! Gather some small objects like buttons, coins, or pebbles. Pretend these are little fish. Count them out loud as you place them in a bowl of water or on a blue piece of paper to represent the sea. Can you add more fish and count again? Try counting backward as you take the fish out of the sea!
Draw Your Fishy Friends: Use crayons or markers to draw your own little fish. How many fish can you draw? Can you draw one fish with a big smile and another with a tiny hat? Count your fish and give each one a name. Share your drawings with a friend or family member and tell them a story about your fishy friends.
Fishy Movements: Pretend to be a fish swimming in the sea. Use your arms to mimic the movement of fish swimming. Can you swim fast like a speedy fish or slow like a sleepy fish? Count how many different ways you can move like a fish. Try moving to music and see if you can keep up with the beat!
