The leaves are falling down..

I dunno about where you are, but the leaves have not stopped falling yet!! I feel like Ive been raking everyday, and then the ground is covered again!! The boys are loving it though...

Here are some fall songs we've been singing around here!!

THE LEAVES ON THE TREES
Tune: “The Wheels On The Bus”

The Leaves on the trees are yellow and brown,
Yellow and brown, yellow and brown.
The leaves on the trees are yellow and brown,
All through the town.

The leaves on the trees are falling down,
Falling down, falling down.
The leaves on the trees are falling down,
All through the town.

The leaves on the trees make a crunching sound,
Crunching sound, crunching sound.
The leaves on the trees make a crunching sound
All through the town.

Let’s rake all the leaves into a mound,
Into a mound, into a mound.
Let’s rake all the leaves into a mound
All through the town.

The children in the town jump up and down,
Up and down, up and down.
The children in the town jump up and down
On the leaves on the ground.
Jean Warren

Give a few of the kids small brooms/rakes and sing the following words to "London Bridge"

Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down, Autumn leaves are falling down welcome Autumn.

Sweep the leaves and put them here, put them put here, put them here, Sweep the leaves and put them here, welcome Autumn.

Jump right in and have some fun, have some fun, have some fun, Jump right in and have some fun-welcome autumn.

children participate in the activity in a circle and follow the cues for the activity.

This little Fall song is sung to the easy tune of "Wheels on the Bus." Give each child a paper leaf for the movement portion.

The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown, orange and brown, orange and brown. The leaves on the trees turn orange and brown, all through the town.

The leaves on the trees come tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down. The leaves on the trees coming tumbling down, all through the 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.
