How Long is a Whale
Ask your kids how long they think the largest creature in the world is. Then
get a long rope (about 100 feet) and have them unwind it. They will be amazed
at how long a blue whale is. Next ask them how many of their lengths it would
take to make a blue whale (You can actually do this if you have the time)
Fishy Pokey
(Sung to: "Hokey Pokey")
Put your left fin in, take your left fin out You do the fishy pokey and you turn yourself around that's what its all about
Put your right gill in, take your right gill out (etc.)
Fish Puppets
Staple two large paper plates together (where the eating surfaces are facing)
leaving an unstapled place large enough for a hand. Staple two small plates
to each side of this opening (each plate is stapled to only one plate) Cut out
a wedge from each of the small plates (to make this look like a tail) and curve
them outward. Now let your children stick their hand through the fishes tail
and use it as a puppet. Note: You can also let them decorate these anyway that
they want.
