Swing Me Over The Ocean (Lycra)

A song that works beautifully with lycra or any large material to encourage coordination, upper body strength and challenge inhibitory control.

FOCUS AREAS: [heavy work] [coordination] [active listening] [core strength] [low energy] [bouncing] [inhibitory control]

Source: Unknown

One song, many ways:

• Adding props (eg toys, weighted toys, puppets) onto the lycra to swing/bounce to creates a beautifully engaging moment. The weighted props also add to the already high resistance and core strengthening activity.
• Can you hum this song? whistle this song? not sing this song at all and use the movements to demonstrate where you are in the song?

Lyrics:

Swing me over the water

Swing me over the sea,

Swing me over the garden wall and,

Swing me home for tea.

One, two, three,

Whee!
