If you're growing andyou know it clap your hands! (clap hands)
If you're growing and you know it clap your hands! (clap hands)

If you're growing and you know it clap your hands! (clap hands)

This is small, small, small.
This is short, short short.
This is tall, tall, tall.
This is fast, fast, fast.
This is slow, slow, slow.
This is yes, yes, yes.
This is no, no, no.

Up pop the flowers (to the tune of "Pop Goes the Weasel", from Hummingbird Educational Resources)
We plant some seeds in the dirt. (pretend to plant seeds)
The rain falls in a shower. (raise arms and wiggle fingers to ground)
The sun comes out and what do you know? (squat down)
Up pop the flowers! (jump up)

Once there was a pumpkin (from King County Library System)
Once there was a pumpkin. (make small circle with hands)
And it grew. And grew. And grew. (make circle progressively bigger)
Now it is a Jack-O-Lantern.
And it smiles at you, and you and you! (move circle to greet each child)
