Five little seashells, Laying on the shore.
(hold out five fingers)
Swish went the waves
(make wave motion with opposite hand over fingers as you tuck one away)
And then there were FOUR
(count fingers one by one)
Four little seashells, pretty as can be.
(hold out four fingers)
Swish went the waves
(make wave motion with opposite hand over fingers as you tuck one away)
And then there were THREE!
(count fingers one by one)
Three little seashells, all pearly and new.
(hold out three fingers)
Swish went the waves
(make wave motion with opposite hand over fingers as you tuck one away)
And then there were TWO!
(count fingers one by one)
Two little seashells, lying in the sun.
(hold out two fingers)
Swish went the waves
(make wave motion with opposite hand over fingers as you tuck one away)
And then there was ONE!
(count fingers one by one)
One little seashell, lying all alone
(hold out one finger)
I picked it up and I took it home
(pretend to pick up shell and put into your pocket)
