Fingerplay – Five Little Fishes

Five little fishes (hold up five fingers)

swimming in the sea (one hand to be fish swimming side to side)

teasing Mr. Sharkie (hands by head, thumbs in ears, wiggle back and forth)

"can't catch me" (shake index finger)

 along came Mr. Sharkie (two hands together prayer style swimming back and forth)

quiet as can be, (hold index finger to lips)  

and  snapped that fishie right out of the sea (clap hands together like a shark's mouth)

 now there's four little fishes swimming in the sea (hold up four fingers)
count down one fish at a time and then at the end of one little fishie swimming in the sea, instead of no more fishes you sing...

"now Mr. Shark said I'm full" (rubbing tummy)
