Song: A pirate's life for me
Sing this song and perform the movements:
When I was one, I learned to run, (run on the spot)
The day I went to sea. (wavy arm in front of you)
I climbed aboard a pirate ship (climbing up a ladder)
And the Captain said to me:
‘We’re going this way, that way, (jump right, then left)
Forwards backwards, (jump forwards, jump backwards)
Over the raging seas. (wavy arm in front of you)
I chewed some gum, to soothe my tum (rub your tummy)
And thats the life for me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me!
When I was two, I tied my shoe, (pretend to tie your shoe)
When I was three, I climbed a tree, (pretend to climb a tree)
When I was four, I swam ashore, (pretend to swim)
When I was five, I learned to dive, (pretend to dive into water)
When I was six, I picked up sticks, (pretend to pick up sticks)
When I was seven, I danced with Evan, (do a little dance)
When I was eight, I lifted weights (do ‘strong arms’)
When I was nine, I was feeling fine, (two thumbs up)
When I was ten, I started again,
