Row Row Row Your Boat : First Nursery Rhymes

February 8, 2013 By Sara Mullett 3 Comments

Row Row Row Your Boat is one of the first songs a toddler will be able to grasp and always a popular favourite. Its simple rocking, rowing action in pairs is great fun and possible for even very little ones to enjoy.

Singing songs with a partner is a lovely way for toddlers to grow their confidence and make new friends and these sort of activities are always so much more fun when they are shared together.

These short, simple action songs should be sung as often as possible as an enjoyable way to practise simple rhythmic movement. They are also great for learning to pitch notes as well as developing speech all at once – while having fun at the same time of course!

Row Row Row Your Boat

Row row row your boat,

Gently down the stream,

Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,

Life is but a dream!

*

Row row row your boat,

Gently down the stream,

If you see a crocodile,

Don’t forget to scream!

*

Row row row your boat,

Gently to the shore,

If you see a dinosaur,

Don’t forget to roar!!
