Slippery Fish is an engaging action song designed to teach children about various ocean animals while encouraging social interactions and teamwork through team movements of their hands together.
Charlotte Diamond’s hilarious song about hungry ocean animals comes to life in this delightful board book! It is illustrated with vividly-colored sea creatures and features all of its words from “Slippery Fish,” as well as its whale burp at the end.
Slippery fish
This song provides children with an engaging way to learn the parts of a fish while simultaneously developing motor skills by acting out each piece. Perfect for use during circle time or to develop social skills among ECE students!
Slippery Fish songs template contains lyrics for enacting Slippery Fish songs during circle time, along with character cut-out templates that children can use to perform them and learn their words. Teachers can prepare these in advance by writing lyrics for Slippery Fish songs on sheets and cutting out character cutout templates – these can then be prepared in advance and used by them during circle time to enact the pieces enacted by children themselves – who then sing along and learn it too!
Octopus
Slippery Fish (or Octopus), popularly known by Charlotte Diamond in Hawaii preschool classrooms and taught to kids along with hand motions, now comes alive in a board book to showcase Hawaii’s colorful underwater world! Read, sing, and laugh alongside your little ones while they follow the slippery fishes (slippery fishes), octopuses (octopuses), tuna fishes, great white sharks (great whites), whales, and humongous whales!).
The lyrics of this song offer a fun and interactive way to introduce your children to aquatic creatures while also teaching English. Please encourage your children to ask questions and search out answers independently; doing so will foster independent learners interested in exploring their world.
Octopus’s Garden goes beyond being an enjoyable children’s song with its memorable tune; its more profound message emphasizes escapism and finding a haven to relax and express oneself creatively. Numerous artists, including Ringo Starr from The Beatles, have covered this memorable children’s tune.
The Octopus Song is an effective way to teach children about ocean food chains and the value of conservation while practicing counting numbers. Singing this song together with your children will reinforce their knowledge of English letter names while at the same time encouraging them to trust animals from the video and say the numbers out loud – they might even create their song using any number they choose! This song belongs to the Zoo-phonics Animal Songs collection, with 26 animal songs to get children up and moving and singing! You can purchase individually or bring all 26 Zoo-phonics Alphabet Jamboree!
Tuna fish
This action song depicts sea creatures moving through the water amusingly and hilariously. Slippery fish swim through until he gets eaten by an Octopus. Once again, a Great white shark follows suit before eventually being devoured by a Humongous whale! This is an ideal song to introduce young learners to different types of marine animals.
Esme Raji Codell’s stories perfectly capture her 10-year-old self’s perspective, showing her extraordinary skill at making the everyday special and the unfamiliar familiar. Sing a Song of Tuna Fish is an anthology of Chicago childhood memories and an homage to attentional arts – but most importantly, it offers families an enjoyable listening experience for kids and themselves.
Humongous whale
Human song is timeless, but unlike its human equivalent, humpback whale songs change every year. According to Katy Payne of Corcovado Gulf Humpback Whale Research Program and her husband Mark Paynes’ theory on popular songs spreading over a large area – originating in Australia before becoming widely adopted across Pacific whale populations – their songs mutate accordingly.
Recent studies of humpback whale fin song have revealed that 20 Hz pulses that form its mating call have decreased over two recording periods. Researchers compared spectrograms of each recording session for this pattern study and noted its decrease; primary long IPI (length between start and end of song) also decreased by two seconds while overtone frequency of lower frequency overtones decreased by three hertz (Hz).
The authors hypothesize that the decrease in peak frequency could be related to changing environmental conditions, including food and water availability, and changes in migration patterns; they propose further study to test this theory.
No one knows why these differences exist; however, they could indicate an overall trend in whale song variation over the last 15 years. Trends in song variant preference could provide valuable data for estimating population sizes of whales across multiple seasons and large regions if consistent trends appear across various seasons and multiple areas; it would allow scientists to see whether changes were caused by learning, error, or environmental variables such as sea surface temperature and wind speed.
