Rockin' Kindergarten for over 30 years!

Splash On In – The Water’s Warm!

Things getting a little toasty where you are?  Here are some activities that will help you keep cool.  Let’s start with a song or two.

Throw in a little twist with some ocean themed finger plays,

I’m a Little Fish, Five Little Fish, Waves in the Sea, Here is the Sea and then don’t forget to Row Your Way to Phonemic Awareness.

Last, but definitely not least, Transitional Kindergarten Math Gets All Wet:

We hope these ideas help keep you at least mentally cool!  Have a favorite ocean themed activity or song?  We’d love to hear about it!
