Fishing Storytime
Going Fishing Storytime
Activity:
Create paper fish cutouts with metal paperclips attached, Fill empty wading pool with paper fish. Give each child a wooden dowel with yarn and magnet attached. Let them catch a certain amount of fish to color and take home with them. I put felt ducks in with my fish(or paper sharks) and tell them when they catch a duck they have to put back everything they've already caught. This usually makes the game more challenging and lasts longer. Some kids would be happy just catching fish, they don't care about coloring or keeping them!

Songs:
Fishy Pokey
You put your left fin in, you put your left fin out,
you put your left fin in, and you shake it all about
You do the fishy pokey and you swim yourself about,
That's what it's all about!
Right fin, Back tail, Whole self, etc.
