Apples

To Tune of: Rock-A-Bye Baby

This is the tree

With leaves so green

Here are the apples

That hang in between

When the wind blows

The apples will fall drop down

And here is the basket

to gather them all.

Five Leaves



Five little leaves up in a tree,

One little leaf said, 'Look at me!

The leaf let go and down he fell,

Ouch! He didn't feel so well.

Repeat with the other 4 leaves.

Spring Song



To the tune of: Sing a Song of Sixpence


Pink and yellow flowers,

are nodding pretty heads,

Bees are buzzing nicely

around garden beds

Trees are filled with blossoms

the robins are starting to sing

And surely this will let us know

The season must be spring!

Buttercups and daisies



Buttercups and daisies,
Oh, the pretty flowers;
Coming ‘ere the springtime,
To tell of sunny hours.
While the trees are leafless,
While the fields are bare
Buttercups and daisies
Spring up here and there.

Little Apple Seed


Once a little apple seed was planted in the ground

Down came the raindrops, falling all around.

Out came the big sun, bright as bright could be

And that little apple seed grew to be an apple tree!

Spotted Giraffe



The spotted giraffe is tall as can be,
(raise one arm as high as you can),

His lunch is a bunch of leaves off a tree,
(nibble with fingers of hand of outstetched arm)

He has a very long neck and his legs are long too,
(point to raised arm and legs)

And he can run faster than his friends at the zoo!

Climbing up the Apple Tree

Climbing up the apple tree,
(climb in place)

Swinging on a limb!
(Raise arms above head, sway left and right)

If I hear a robin, I may...
(cup hand near ear)

Sing along with him!
(sing tra la la)

"And Robin, if you fly away,
(Put hands over eyes)

Here's what I think I'll do
(Point up with index finger)

I'll wish a pair of sparrow wings
(gently flap arms at side and move around)

And fly away with you!

Itsy Bitsy Monkey



The itsy bitsy monkey climbed up the coconut tree
(have hands climb)

Down came a coconut that bopped him on the knee
(drop fist from over head to hit yourself on the knee)

Along came his Mama, who kissed away the pain
(kiss your fist)

Then the itsy bitsy monkey climbed up the tree again
(climb hands again -having kids stretch as high as they can reach)

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)

Oak Tree

Here is an oak tree, straight and tall
(stand up straight)

And here are its branches wide
(stick out arms and extend fingers)

Here is a nest of twigs and moss
(cup hands)

With three little birds inside
(hold up three fingers)

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)

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)

Way up High in the Apple Tree



Way up High in the Apple Tree

(hands up)


Two little apples smiled at me

(hold up two fists)


I shook the tree as hard as I could

(shake hands)


Down came the apples

(hands in lap)


Mmm, were they good

(pat tummy)
