Pumpkin Pie

(Count off on fingers, then hold out both hands face up)

Five little pumpkins sitting on the ground

The first one said, "I'm big, orange and round!"

The second one said, "I'm fresh off the vine!"

The third one said, "I taste divine!"

The fourth one said, "I'm ready to be tasted!"

The fifth one said, "Bake my seeds so they're not wasted!"

Someone from the kitchen picked them up and we know why....

The five little pumpkins all became Pumpkin Pie.

Swaying Apple Tree

Here is the apple tree with leaves so green,
(stand up and stretch and hang arms and hands out to your sides)

Here are the apples that hang in between,
(make a small circle with your two hands)

When the wind blows,
(sway body and arms back and forth)

The apples will fall,
(crouch down on the floor)

Let's use a basket to gather them all!
(pretend to pick up apples and put them into a basket)

Squirrel Gathers Nuts

These are brown leaves,
fluttering down,
(flutter hands down to ground)

And this is the tall tree
(hold up right arm)
Bare and brown.

This is the squirrel
(make fist with left hand, stick thumb up)

With eyes so bright
(two circles with thumbs and index fingers)

Hunting for nuts,
With all of his might

This is the hole
(make hole with right thumb and index finger)

Where day by day
Nut after nut

He stores away
(place nuts in hole with left hand)

When winter comes
With its cold and storm

He'll sleep curled up,
(circle right hand around left fist)
All snug and warm.

Leaves on the Ground

When the leaves are on the ground,
(point to ground)

Instead of on the trees
(hold hands over head)

I like to make a pile of them

Way up to my knees
(clasp knees)

I like to run and jump in them
(jump once)

And kick them all around
(kick with foot)

I like the prickly feel of them

And the crickly, crackly sound.
(snap fingers)

Autumn Leaves

Autumn Leaves are floating down,
(float arms and hands up and down)

They make a carpet on the ground

Then swish, the wind comes whistling by,
(move arms to the side quickly)

And sends them dancing to the sky.

Autumn

The trees are gently dropping,
Leaves onto the ground
(flutter fingers down)

The flowers are all nodding,
Down and all around
(turn around slowly)

The wind is blowing
A chilly breeze
(sway back and forth)

The birds are flying
Into the trees
(flap arms like wings)

I'm a Little Pumpkin

Tune: I'm a Little Teapot

I'm a little pumpkin, fat and round

Here is my face making a frown

I'm a little pumpkin, tall and thin

Here is my face, making a grin

I'm a little pumpkin, I've got style

Here is my face making a smile!

October

The Month is October
With Leaves Falling Down
(flutter fingers)

That were once all

Yellow, Scarlet, and Brown

Falling Leaves

All the leaves are falling down

(flutter fingers downward)


Orange, green, red, and brown.

(flutter fingers)



If you listen, you'll hear them say,

(cup hands around ears)



"Wintertime is on it's way."

(whispering)

Look at the Apple I have Found

Look at the apple I have found
(circle hands)

So round and rosy on the ground

We will wash it and cut it in two
(perform actions)

Half for me and half for you
(hold out both hands)

The Little Leaves Fall Gently Down

 The Little Leaves Fall Gently Down

(flutter hands)

The little leaves fall gently down

Red and yellow, orange and brown

Whirling, whirling round and round

(turn hands)

Down, down, down

(drop head into lap)
