The Fall song (modified from Jbrary's Seasons Song)
Leaves are falling, what should I do?
Leaves are falling, what should I do?
Leaves are falling, what should I do?
What should I do in the fall?
I'll rake them up, that's what I'll do!
I'll rake them up, that's what I'll do!
I'll rake them up, that's what I'll do!
That's what I'll do in the fall.
Other verses: It's getting colder/put on my jacket, Apples are growing/pick and eat them
Autumn leaves are falling down (adapted from Jbrary)
Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down, (flutter hands towards ground)
Autumn leaves are falling down, all around town.
The wind will blow them round and round, round and round, (spin)
The wind will blow them round and round, all around town.
Autumn leaves are dancing round, dancing round, dancing round (dance)
Autumn leaves are dancing round, all around town.
Autumn Animals (to the tune of Frere Jacques, from KCLS)
Bears are sleeping, bears are sleeping. (pretend to sleep)
Birds fly south, birds fly south. (pretend to fly)
Squirrels are storing acorns, squirrels are storing acorns,
In their mouths, in their mouths. (pretend to eat)
One bright leaf (with scarves, adapted from Storytime Underground)
One bright leaf, waiting for the wind to blow,
Wave it high, wave it low,
Throw it high!
Where did it go?
Craft: We made a collage with leaf stickers.
