The Acorn Song (I’m A Nut) by Jbrary

The Leaves On The Trees by Jbrary

The Four Seasons Song by Jbrary

Autumn Leaves Are Falling Down (Tune: London Bridge)

Autumn leaves are falling down,

Falling down, falling down.

Autumn leaves are falling down All over town.

Additional verses:

The wind can blow them round and round…

They're drifting gently to the ground…

Take a rake and rake them up…

Make a pile of leaves and jump right in…

Five Little Acorns (Tune: Five Little Ducks)

Five little acorns swaying in a tree,

Hanging from a branch as high as can be.

Along came the wind and blew one away.

Four little acorns are left to sway.

(Repeat with four, three two, and one acorn)

Down came a squirrel from high in the tree,

Searching for food as fast as can be.

He saw those acorns tasty and round,

And hid them in a hole that he dug in the ground.

I’m A Little Scarecrow (Tune: I’m A Little Teapot)

I’m a little scarecrow,

Raggedy and word,

I wear a hat,

And my shirt is torn.

When the crows fly here,

I wave a and shout,

“Away from my garden, now get out!”

Leaves Are Falling (Tune: Jingle Bells)

Leaves are falling, leaves are falling,

One fell on my nose!

Leaves are falling, leaves are falling,

One fell on my toes!

(Repeat: one fell on my head, yellow orange and red, etc)

Leaves On The Tree (Tune: The Wheels On The Bus)

The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown,

Orange and brown,

The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown all over town

The leaves on the trees come tumbling down,

Tumbling down,

The leaves on the trees come tumbling down all over town.

The leaves on the ground go swish, swish, swish,

Swish, swish, swish,

Swish, swish, swish

The leaves on the ground go swish, swish, swish all through the town.

The Leaves Are Falling Down (Tune: The Farmer In The Dell)

The leaves are falling down

Red, yellow, green, and brown

The leaves are falling down

Rhymes:

Fall Leaves

(Hold up five fingers and put a finger down each time a leaf falls.)

Five fall leaves, five and no more

The caterpillar ate one; now there are four.

Four fall leaves; that's easy to see.

Along came a rainstorm; now there are three.

Three fall leaves; nothing much to do.

A big wind blew; now there are two.

Two fall leaves; that's some fun.

I glued one on my paper and now there is one.

Hang on, pretty fall leaf!

Your branches won’t break.

You’re one less leaf for me to rake!

Five Little Leaves

Five little leaves on the tree next door

One fell off and then there were four

Four little leaves all over the tree

One fell off and then there were three

Three little leaves where the wind blew

One fell off and then there were two

Two little leaves sitting in the sun

One fell off and then there was one

One little leaf in the tree all alone

The wind blew and blew now there are none!

Flannel Boards:

Fall Is Not Easy by Flannel Board Fun

Fall Leaves

Each child pulls a leaf off the tree and places in a pile at the bottom of the tree.

Five Little Leaves

5 little leaves in the tall tall tree

As bright and pretty as they can be

Along came the wind

Blowing all around

And one bright leaf

Fell to the ground

(Four little leaves…)

Blue Is The Sky

Blue is the sky

Yellow is the sun

Silver are the stars

When the day is done

Orange is the leaf

Brown is the tree

Red is the apple

For you and me

Little Bird, Are You in the Green Tree?

Guessing game. Create 4 trees of different colorings. Tuck a bird behind one. Say, “Look at all the trees with different color leaves! I wonder where Little Bird is. Little Bird, are you in the brown tree? Where’s the brown tree?” Lift the brown tree and continue until found.
