Row Row Row Your Boat: Different Versions




Row Row Row Your Boat is such a classic children's song and can be sung various ways. It is fun if two children partner together and rock back and forth while singing the song. One daycare I worked at, the caregiver use to come around the corner and spray the children with a water bottle at the end of the song to surprise the preschoolers. They would love it.


Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the stream.
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream.

Different Versions:

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
If you see a crocodile
Don't forget to scream! (scream)

Rock, rock, rock your boat
Gently to and fro.
Look out, give a shout!
Into the water you go! (pretend to make a big splash)

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the shore
But if you see a lion
Don't forget to roar! (roar)

Row, row, row your boat
Gently down the lake
But if you see a little snake
Don't forget to shake! (shake body)

I found this blog where the author collected many more versions of Row Row Row Your Boat

I think my favourite of all, is when it is done as a round.
