Hello, amazing friend! Today, we’re going on a pretend fishing adventure. Are you ready to join me? Grab your fishing pole, and let’s get started!
First, we need to cast our fishing line into the water. Can you do it with me? Swish, it’s in the water! Now, we wait and see if the fish are ready to bite. Do you feel a little tug on your line?
Oh wow, I think we caught a big fish! Let’s reel it in together. Oh no, did your fish give you a little nibble? Ouch, that can be a surprise!
Let’s sing a fun song about catching a fish:
One, two, three, four, five, once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on my right.
Do you want to sing it one more time? Here we go:
One, two, three, four, five, once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger.
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on my right.
Ouch! Let’s put a band-aid on that little finger. Did you put on a band-aid? There, all better!
Thanks for fishing with me today! See you later, alligator!
Fishy Art Project: Let’s create our own fish! Gather some colorful paper, scissors, glue, and markers. Cut out shapes to make a fish body, fins, and tail. Use markers to add eyes and scales. Once your fish is ready, share it with your friends or family and tell them about your fishing adventure. Can you make your fish swim by moving it around?
Fishing Game: Create a simple fishing game at home. Use a stick or a pencil as a fishing rod and attach a string with a magnet at the end. Cut out fish shapes from paper and attach a paperclip to each one. Spread the fish on the floor and try to catch them with your fishing rod. How many fish can you catch in one minute?
Observation Walk: Take a walk with a grown-up and look for water bodies like ponds, lakes, or streams. Can you spot any fish or other water creatures? Talk about what you see and how fish might live in their watery homes. What do you think fish eat, and how do they swim?
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:

Okay, we gotta reel it in. Oh wow, it’s a big fish! Oh, ouch! Did your fish bite you? Ouch!
One, two, three, four, five, once I caught a fish alive. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, then I let it go again. Why did you let it go? Because it bit my finger. So, which finger did it bite? This little finger on my right.
Great singing! Do you want to sing it again?
One, two, three, four, five, once I caught a fish alive. Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, then I let it go again. Why did you let it go? Because it bit my finger. So, which finger did it bite? This little finger on my right.
