Five little fishies swimming in a pool, (Wiggle 5 fingers.)
The first one said, “This pool is cool.” (Wrap arms around body.)
The second one said, “This pool is deep.” (Speak in a deep voice.)
The third one said, “I want to sleep.” (Rest head on hands.)
The fourth one said, “Let’s dive and dip." (Hand dives and dips.)
The fifth one said, “I spy a ship.” (Form eyeglass with hands and peer through it.)
A fisherman's boat comes, (Fingers form V and move away from body.)
The line goes KER-SPLASH, (Pantomime throwing fishing line.)
And away the five little fishies dash. (Wiggle 5 fingers away from body.)

Teaching Tips:

• Review number words. Have young children practice counting fish. Printable fish cards are available here. (Print two sets of cards to review the concept of same and different.)
  
  
• Teach the vocabulary for one line at a time, followed by the actions.
  
  
• For older or slightly more advanced students, use fingerplay to introduce concept of rhyming words. Write the fingerplay on the board or on sentence strips, and let children identify the rhyming words at the end of each line. Give pairs of words and encourage them to swim like fish if the words rhyme.
