Swimming
(Source: there is a similar song called
"Swimming Hole" in "The Kids' Campfire Book", Jane Drake and
Ann Love, Kids Can Press, 1996, also in "Campfire Activities", Girl
Guides of Canada, 1993.)
- Swimming, swimming in my swimming pool
- When days are hot when days are cold, in my swimming
pool
- Breast-stroke, side-stroke, fancy diving too.
- Don't you wish you never had anything else to do, but....
Actions:
- Swimming, swimming: swimming action
- In my swimming pool: trace outline of pool
- Days are hot: wipe hand across forehead
- Days are cold: shiver
- Breast-stroke: do the breaststroke
- Side-stroke: do the sidestroke
- Fancy diving: dive action
Repeat the song a number of times, leaving out each of
the above lines one at a time but still doing the actions. The last
verse should be all actions and no singing!
