Songs and Rhymes About summer


Summer theme songs and rhymes that can be used when planning activities and curriculum for young children.
​Sung to: London bridge
We are going to the beach,
To the beach, to the beach,
We are going to the beach,
To have some summer fun.

We will find some rocks and shells,
Rocks and shells, rocks and shells.
We will find some rocks and shells,
And make a collection.

We'll be digging in the sand
In the sand, in the sand,
We'll be digging in the sand,
And maybe build a castle.

We will jump right over the waves,
Over the waves, over the waves,
We will jump right over the waves,
Way up to the bright blue sky!


A shiny shell washed up one day,
And lay upon the sand. 
It sang a song about the sea,
As I held it in my hand. 
Shhhh....shhhhhhh. (children repeat)

And when that shiny shell washed up 
Out of the waves at sea,
I held the shell up to my ear, 
And I heard it sing to me.
Shhhh...shhhhhh. (children repeat)


Sung to: Farmer in the Dell
In summer when it's hot,
In summer when it's hot,
In summer we (name an activity - eat ice cream, wear tank tops,
splash in the water, get out the slip-and-slide etc.)
In summer when it's hot.


You are my sunshine.
Bright, shiny sunshine.
You bring me sunlight
All through the day.
You help the seasons go
You make the plants grow.
Amazing sun, I know you'll always stay.


I'm a little fishy, I can swim.
Here is my tail, here is my fin.
When I want to have fun with my friends,
I wiggle my tail and dive right in.
1,2,3,4,5!
