Song 1: Once I caught a fish alive
One two three four five
Once I caught a FISH alive
Six, seven, eight nine ten,
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right!

One two three four five
Once I caught a CRAB alive
Six, seven, eight nine ten,
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right!

One two three four five
Once I caught AN EEL alive
Six, seven, eight nine ten,
Then I let it go again.
Why did you let it go?
Because it bit my finger so
Which finger did it bite?
This little finger on the right!

Story: 鈥業shy Fish鈥
Once upon an underwater time there is a f sh called Ishy, a pink fish with purple stripes. But because she鈥檚 so brightly coloured, she keeps being caught. One day she finds a magic pebble and soon Ishy鈥檚 not so easy to catch.
Joining in phrase: MAKE A WISH ISHY FISH, MAKE A WISH!
Encourage the children to whisper the words of the joining in phrase. You can add tinkling chimes or small bells, if you have them.
Try listening to the story in a darkened room with torch light/ spot lights reflecting on the shiny pond and create your own magical space!

FIVE little fish went out to play
Swishing their tails in the sea one day
Along came a CRAB鈥ho chased them away
Splish splash splish!

FOUR little fish went out to play
Swishing their tails in the sea one day
Along came AN EEL鈥ho chased them away

THREE little fish went out to play
Swishing their tails in the sea one day
Along came A SHARK鈥ho chased them away
Splish splash splish!

TWO little fish went out to play
Swishing their tails in the sea one day
Along came A SEAL鈥ho chased them away
Splish splash splish!

ONE little fish went out to play
Swishing her tail in the sea one day
Along came A WHALE鈥
But Ishy made a wish and was left to play
Splish splash splish.

Splish splash splish!
