Singing Games Activity Book - At the Bottom of the Sea

"At the Bottom of the Sea" is a delightful singing game found in the Singing Games Activity Book, which is designed to engage children in musical learning and imaginative play. The activity takes place with the children sitting scattered across the floor, pretending to be swaying seaweed at the bottom of the ocean. A catchy tune accompanies the game, with lyrics that describe fish swimming 'here and there and everywhere' in the sea. The melody is simple and repetitive, making it easy for children to learn and sing along.

During the game, one child is selected to be the 'fish' who weaves through the 'seaweed', moving in and out among the seated children. At a specific point in the song, when the lyrics reach "Oh....", the 'fish' chooses another child, and everyone sings that child's name followed by a collective clap on the phrase 'we love you'. The chosen child then joins the original 'fish', either by placing their hands on the leader's shoulders or becoming the new leader of the fish line. As the game continues, the line of 'fish' grows longer, resembling a conga line, while the number of 'seaweed' children gradually decreases, adding a fun and dynamic element to the activity.
