11-12-00" Autumn Leaves" (London Bridge) Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down.( arms up high
like a tree then lower as song goes on ) 1 little leaf, 2 little leaves, 3 little leaves today. 4 little leaves, 5
little leaves, 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. Five Little Leaves Five little leaves so bright and gay (choose five children to be leaves) Were dancing about on a tree one day (children twirl and dance) The wind came blowing through the town (teacher pretends to be wind and blows very hard) And one little leave came tumbling down (teacher touches one child on the head and as she/he does the child twirls to the ground) Four little leaves... Three little leaves... Two little leaves... One little leaf so bright and gay Was dancing about on a tree one day The wind came blowing through the town And one little leaf came tumbling down. (all children are on the floor) And then I came and raked them all up in a pile. (Teacher pretends to rake the leaves into a big pile. The children love to scatter at this point so you can't rake them up. Poem Here is a leaf that is yellow and brown. ( hold up one
finger)
