Here in the Pacific Northwest where I live, salmon are an important part of our culture. They are anadromous, which means they are born in fresh water, move to salt water to feed, and return to fresh water to spawn. You can do this song as a dance with scarves, creating areas of the room or outside for the ocean and the river, or use your hands to mimic fish swimming and following the rest of the lyrics. To learn more about this fascinating fish, check out one of my favorite websites, EnchantedLearning.com. The materials are free, but there is an optional minimal membership fee ($20/year) which is well worth supporting this incredible and dependable website.
