3.   Poem: FIVE LITTLE FISHES

Five little fishes
Swimming in the sea
Teasing Mr. Shark
You can't catch me
Along comes Mr. Shark
As quiet as can be...
SNAP!
Four little fishes
Swimming in the sea
(continue until there are no fish left
No little fishes swimming in the sea.

4.   Read second story “Shark and Lobster's Amazing Undersea Adventure", "Where's the Fish"

5.   Flannelboard: FIVE LITTLE FISH (flannelboard fingerplay)

Cut five fish shapes out of felt. Place the fish on your flannelboard. As you read the rhyme below, let the children take turns "catching" the fish by removing them from the flannelboard.

Five little fish swimming by the shore.
One got caught, and then there were four.

Four little fish swimming in the sea.
One got caught, and then there were three.

Three little fish swimming in the blue.
One got caught, and then there were two.

Two little fish swimming in the sun.
Once got caught, and then there was one.

One little fish swimming for home.
Decided 'twas best to never roam.
