Five Clown Fish

Five Clown Fish swimming in the sea,
The first one said "You can't beat me!"
The second one said "I'm
faster than you,"
The third one said "I can
beat you two!"
The fourth one said "You
ALL are slow,"
The fifth one said,
There's a SHARK, LET'S
GO!"
Away swam the clown fish,
way out to sea,
The Shark cried loudly,
"They ALL beat ME!"
Boooooooo!
~Debby Hill

I Had A Little Turtle

I had a little turtle (make fist with thumb sticking out)
Who lived in a box (cup hands together)
He swam in a puddle (wiggle
hand back and forth)
And climbed on the rocks (finger climb up other fist)
He snapped at the mosquito (snap)
He snapped at the flea (snap)
He snapped at the minnow (snap)
And he snapped at me! (snap)
He caught the mosquito (clap)
He caught the flea (clap)
He caught the minnow (clap)
But he didn’t catch me! (wag finger back and
forth)

Fish Poem

One,Two,Three,Four,Five,
Once I caught a fish alive.
Six, seven,eight,nine,ten,
Then I let him go again.
Why did you let him go?
Cause he bit my finger so.
Which Finger did he bite?
This little finger on the right!
