Flannel Friday: Row, Row, Row Your Boat

"Okay, you guys, I need your help. Do you know the song "Row, row, row your boat"? Great. Let's sing it together:

Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream

Merrily, merrily, merrily
Life is but a dream
Row, row r- Wait? You guys don't know the next verse? Oh, well, it goes like this

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
If you see a crocodile,
Don't forget to scream!

I didn't hear you guys scream. You have to really let it out. Okay, on 1...2...3...

AGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHH

And there's more

Row, row, row you boat
Gently down the creek
If you see a mouse,
He'll surely go squeak, squeak!

Okay, last verse. Get ready.

Row, row, row your boat,
Gently towards the shore,
If you see a lion,
Give him your best ROAR!


Great job you guys! Give yourselves a round of applause."

There are a lot of possibilities with this song and water words, make up your own verses and play along!

brook...look (If you see an elephant, take a second look)
wave...cave (Right around the corner, a bear lives in that cave)
bend... end 
sea...free
flash...crash

Flannel Friday is being hosted by Erin today, for more info on Flannel Friday: The Movement, check out the official website.

    I have never liked the version with the alligator, but now that I'm singing it in my head with your other verses and seeing this great flannel....I think I have a change of heart. Very nice!

      I wasn't crazy about it the first time I heard it either. I think it takes more than one verse of the non-traditional song to work. I'm glad I could help change your mind!

    Thanks you guys, I'm always looking for ways to use flannel scraps and the stream and the lion's mane were perfect for that!

    I like the textures of your pieces. They pop right off the board (in a good way).
