Exercise 1 : Tune it up! Recite the poem with actions.

Sand in the sandwiches,

Sand in the tea,
Flat, wet sand running,
Down to the sea.
Pools full of seaweed,
Shells and stones,
Damp bathing-suits,
And ice-cream cones.
Waves pouring in,
To a sand-castle moat,
Mend the defences!
Now we’re for splashing,
Sand is for play,
A day by the sea,
Is the best kind of day.
