Boat Song for Preschool Theme

This song is sung to the tune of Old Macdonald Had A Farm


Boats are big and boats are small
All around the world.
Some have sails that are so tall
All around the world.

They glide up a wave, and down a wave
Up a wave and down a wave.
Boats are big and boats are small
All around the world.

Boats with motors are so fast,
All around the world.
Hands will wave as they past,
All around the world.

They zoom over here and over there,
Over here and over there.
Boats with motors are so fast,
All around the world.

Fishing boats are in the sea,
All around the world.
Catching fish for you and me,
All around the world.

They fish up north and down south
Up north and down south
Fishing boats are in the sea,
All around the world.

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.

Transportation Songs for Preschool Theme

Transportation is such a classic topic for preschool environments. Following are some songs to include into a transportation theme.


Song #1
"The Wheels on the Bus":

The cars on the road go beep beep beep...all around the town

The planes in the sky go zoom zoom zoom...all around the town

The trains on the track go chug, chug, chug...all around the town

The boats on the water go swish, swish, swish....all around the town

Song#2
Suggested tune: “Old Macdonald Had a Farm”

Drake (child’s name) the driver drives his car

Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom.

And on his car there are some wheels,

Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom.

And the car goes beep beep here and beep beep there.

Here a beep, there a beep, everywhere a beep beep.

Drake the driver drives his car,

Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom.

Pat the pilot flies the plane,

Zoom, zoom , zoom, zoom , zoom.

And on the plane there are some wings,

Zoom, zoom ,zoom.

And the plane flies up here, and lands there,

Up here and lands there.

Pat the pilot flies the plane,

Zoom, zoom , zoom ,zoom, zoom.

Sally the Sailor has a boat,

Swish swish swish, swish, swish.

And on the boat there is a sail,

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.

It glides up a wave, and down a wave,

Up a wave and down a wave.

Sally the Sailor has a boat,

Swish, swish, swish, swish, swish.


Song#3

To the tune of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star"

Twinkle twinkle traffic light

Standing on the corner bright

Green means GO, we all know

Yellow means WAIT, even if you're late

Red means STOP......

Twinkle twinkle traffic light,

Standing on the corner bright.


Song#4
To the tune of Farmer in the Dell

Jack takes a trip

Jack takes a trip

He packs his bags and calls a cab

Jack takes a trip

They travel there by plane

They travel there by plane

Up and down and all around

They travel their by plane

The wheels on the plane go up and down, up and down, up and down
The wheels on the plane go up and down, all around the sky.

The workers on the plane say coffee or tea all around the sky.
The babies on the plane go wah wah wah, wah wah wah, wah wah wah
The babies on the plane go wah wah wah, all around the sky.
The mothers on the plane go sshh, sshh, sshh, sshh, sshh, sshh,

The pilot on the plane says seatbelts on, all around the sky.

I’m a Little Airplane

In the sky
Here are my wings
Watch me fly!
When the time is ready
I'll come down
Gently landing
On the ground

 

Did You Ever See an Airplane?

 

Sung to the tune of "Did You Ever See a Lassie?"

An airplane, an airplane?
Did you ever see an airplane
Way up in the sky?
There are big ones and small ones
Fast ones and slow ones
Did you ever see an airplane
Way up in the sky?

Zoom, zoom, zoom, go the airplanes
Zoom, zoom, zoom, go the airplanes
Flying in the sky.
