We all enjoy a visit to a sea beach. Let us read a poem and

find out how the poet spends time on a sea beach.

Recite the poem first with the teacher and then in groups.

I made a sand castle.

In rolled the sea.

“All sand castles

belong to me—

to me,”

said the sea.

I dug sand tunnels.

In flowed the sea.
“All sand tunnels

belong to me—

to me,”

said the sea.

I saw my sand pail floating free.

I ran and snatched it from the sea.

“My sand pail

belongs to me—

to me!”

—Lilian Moore
