A Sailor Went To Sea

This action game is great for when you want to do something active without having to move into a circle or line!

Great preparation for beat as children do actions on the words.
Start slow and build up the speed:
- to prepare the concepts 'fast' and 'slow'.
- for extra fun! (The fourth verse can be a fun challenge when it is fast!)
Have students improvise new actions and words!
