Squirrel Song ![]()
(Sing to the tune of: "She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain")I'll be gathering all the acorns till they're gone.
I'll be gathering all the acorns till they're gone.
I'll be gathering all the acorns, gathering all the acorns,
Gathering all the acorns till they're gone.
(make collecting motions)And I'll put them all inside my little home.
I will put them all inside my little home.
I will put them all inside, put them all inside,
Put them all inside my little home.
(pretend to place nuts in tree house)And I'll eat the nuts until the winter's gone.
I will eat the nuts until the winter's gone.
I will eat the nuts until, eat the nuts until,
Eat the nuts until the winter's gone.

I will do it all again come next fall.
I will do it all again, do it all again,
Do it all again come next fall.

Let's rake them up in a pile, all around the town.

Twirling Leaves ![]()
The autumn wind blows---Oooo Oooo Oooo
(make wind sounds)
The leaves shake and shake then fly into the sky so blue.
(everybody shake their bodies)
They whirl and whirl around them, twirl and twirl around.

But when the wind stops, the leaves sink slowly to the ground.
Lower, lower, and land quietly without a sound.
(sink slowly to the floor, very quietly)
Colored Leaves ![]()
Colored leaves fall gently down
Red and yellow, orange and brown.

Very quietly, without a sound.

Falling softly to the ground.
(begin to fall slowly)
Down and down and down and down.
(lie on floor)Floppy Scarecrow
The Floppy, floppy scarecrow
Guards his fields all day.
He waves his floppy, floppy hands
To scare the crows away!The Floppy, floppy scarecrow
Guards his fields all day.
He waves his floppy, floppy legs
To scare the crows away!The Floppy, floppy scarecrow
Guards his fields all day.
He waves his floppy, floppy arms
To scare the crows away!Continue with eyes, fingers, ears, toes, etc...
