*Apples<\/em>
\nWay up high in the apple tree,
\n(Stretch arms in the air.)
\nTwo little apples smiled at me.
\n(Hold up two fists.)
\nI shook the tree as hard as I could.
\n(Shake fists in the air.)
\nDown came the apples.
\n(Drop fists to lap. Mime biting into \u201capples\u201d.)
\nMmm, were they good!
\n(Pat tummy.)<\/p>\n**5 Little Acorns<\/em> (adapted from \u201c5 Little Apples\u201d)
\n(Chanted to Five Little Monkeys Teasing Mr. Crocodile)
\nFive little acorns hanging in a tree,
\nTeasing Mr. Bushy Tail \u201cyou can\u2019t eat me\u201d,
\nAlong comes Mr. Bushy Tail as hungry as can be\u2026
\nand\u2026CRUNCH!
\n(Chant with 4,3,2,1)
\n(Used tree flannel, 5 acorn flannels and a squirrel flannel or puppet)<\/p>\n***4 Autumn Leaves<\/em> (source unknown)
\nFour Autumn leaves in a big old tree
\nOne blew off, then there were three
\nThree little leaves with nothing to do
\nAnother blew off, then there were two
\nTwo little leaves in the Autumn sun
\nOne blew off, then there was one
\nBeing all alone wasn’t much fun
\nThe last one blew off, then there was none<\/p>\n****Autumn Leaves<\/em>
\nLeaves are floating softly down.
\n(Flutter fingers in downward motion.)
\nThey make a carpet on the ground.
\n(Spread hands over ground.)
\nThen, swish, the wind comes whistling by
\n(Arms move side to side.)
\nAnd sends them dancing to the sky.
\n(Hands flutter into air.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It’s fall!
