To the Beach We Go
[20 Minutes]
Whether you're on the way to the beach or just pretending, here are some great "sandy" activities to enjoy together.
What to do:
- Sing this rhyme on the way to the beach or when you pretend you are going to the beach. Sing this song together (Tune: "A-Hunting We Will Go")
It's to the beach we go, We won't find any snow; We'll swim and float, And fish from a boat - I can't wait 'til we go!
- If packing a pretend beach bag, invite your child to list everything he would need for a trip to the beach. Keep asking "What else" or "What if" questions. Sometimes it's fun to ask silly questions such as "What about mittens?"
- End this activity with a "sand"-wich for lunch.
