Hello, amazing friend! Today, we’re going on a pretend boat ride. Are you ready to join me in our imaginary boat? Awesome! Let’s grab our paddles and start rowing. And guess what? We can sing a fun song while we row!
Let’s sing together:
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.
Wasn’t that a lovely boat ride? Let’s go again and see what fun things we can imagine!
This time, let’s pretend we see a crocodile. Ready to sing?
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. If you see a crocodile, don’t forget to scream!
Now, let’s imagine an alligator. Let’s sing again:
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. If you see an alligator, don’t forget to scream!
What if we see a dinosaur? Let’s use our imagination!
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the stream. If you see a dinosaur, don’t forget to scream!
Next, let’s pretend to see a tiny mouse. Can you make a squeaky sound? Squeak, squeak, squeak!
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the creek. If you see a little mouse, don’t forget to squeak, squeak, squeak!
Now, let’s imagine a polar bear. It’s going to be really cold, so let’s shiver!
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the river. If you see a polar bear, don’t forget to shiver!
Let’s pretend to see a camel. Can you show me your biggest smile?
Row, row, row your boat, gently down the Nile. If you see a camel there, don’t forget to smile!
Now, let’s imagine a lion. Can you give me your loudest roar? Roar!
Row, row, row your boat, gently to the shore. If you see a lion there, don’t forget to roar!
Finally, let’s pretend we’re in a boat in the bathtub. Let’s scrub and get all clean!
Row, row, row your boat, gently in the tub. Get your soap and get your cloth, don’t forget to scrub!
Great job on our boat adventure! See you later, alligator!
Animal Adventure Drawing: After our imaginary boat ride, let’s draw the animals we saw! Grab some paper and crayons. Can you draw a crocodile, an alligator, a dinosaur, a mouse, a polar bear, a camel, and a lion? Once you’re done, share your drawings with a friend or family member and tell them about our adventure!
Sound and Movement Game: Let’s play a game where we make sounds and movements for each animal we imagined. Can you make a roaring sound like a lion or a squeaky sound like a mouse? How about shivering like you’re cold when you see a polar bear? Let’s practice these sounds and movements together and see if you can remember them all!
Nature Walk Observation: Next time you go for a walk or visit a park, look around and see if you can spot any animals or things that remind you of our boat adventure. Maybe you’ll see a bird that reminds you of a dinosaur or a dog that makes you think of a lion. Share what you find with your family and talk about how it reminds you of our fun boat ride!
Sure! Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
