All About Fall





Up on the Treetop
(to the tune of Up on the Housetop)
Up on the treetop
Watch the leaves
They are changing.
You can see.
Red and orange,
Yellow and brown.
Pretty soon they'll all fall down.

Crunch, crunch, crunch!
Walk through the leaves
Crunch, crunch, crunch!
Walk through the leaves
Up on the treetop
In the fall
Leaves are changing.
Watch them all!



Scarecrow, Scarecrow,
How scary can you be?
You scared (insert name)
But you didn't scare me!

Put up a picture of a large scarecrow.
Have the students dictate to you sentences to write and put up on the "see my _____" wall.



Scarecrows (tune: Sing a Song of Sixpence)
We're the farmer's scarecrows
We scare birds away
We keep the farmer's corn safe
Without any words.
But when Halloween comes
We jump out of the ground
And we scare the boys and girls
When they come walking 'round.



Scarecrow, Scarecrow (Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle)
Scarecrow, scarecrow turn around.
Scarecrow, scarecrow touch the ground.
Stand up tall and blink your eyes.
Raise your hands up to the sky.
Clap your hands, then tap your knees.
Turn around and tap your feet.

Scarecrow, scarecrow touch your toes.
Scarecrow, scarecrow tap your nose.
Swing your arms so very slow.
Now real fast to scare the crows.
Touch your head, jump up and down.
Now sit down without a sound.



(sung to the tune of "I'm Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee")
I'm picking out a pumpkin on a vine.
I want one big and fat and fine.
I'm picking out a pumpkin on a vine.
Oh, I see mine!

I'm pulling on a pumpkin on a vine.
It's so big and fat and fine.
I'm pulling on a pumpkin on a vine.
Snap! It's mine!
