Scarf Song: The Fish in the Sea (tune: The Wheels on the Bus)

The fish in the sea go swish, swish, swish, swish … All day long

The crabs in the sea go back and forth

The waves in the sea go up and down

Song: Three Little Cats (tune: Three Little Ducks)

Three little cats went out one day,

Over the hill and far away,

Mama Cat called “Meow! Meow! Meow! Meow!”

But only 2 little cats came back.

Continue 1…

“But no little cats came purring back,” and then “all 3 cats came purring back.”

This little bird flaps his wings, Flaps his wings, Flaps his wings,

This little bird flaps his wings, And flies away in the morning.

Little fish winks hello/swims away in the morning

Goodbye Song: The More We Get Together

The more we get together, together, together,

The more we get together the happier we’ll be.

For your friends are my friends, and my friends are your friends,

The more we get together the happier we’ll be.
