Fall Programs

Here are some lovely leaf songs to share this week:

The Leaves are Falling Down
(Tune: Farmer in the Dell)
The leaves are falling down
The leaves are falling down
Red, Yellow, Green, and Brown
The Leaves are falling down.

Leaves are Falling Down
(Tune: Frere Jacques)
Leaves are falling, leaves are falling, 
On the ground, on the ground
Rake them in a pile, 
Rake them in a pile, 
Then jump in.
Then jump in.

Autumn Leaves Are Falling Down
(tune: “London Bridge is Falling Down”)
Autumn leaves are falling down,
Falling down, falling down.
Autumn leaves are falling down
All over town.
Additional verses:
The wind can blow them round and round…
They‟re drifting gently to the ground…
Take a rake and rake them up…
Make a pile of leaves and jump right in…

Five Little Leaves
Five little leaves on the tree next door
One fell off and then there were four
Four little leaves all over the tree
One fell off and then there were three
Three little leaves where the wind blew
One fell off and then there were two
Two little leaves sitting in the sun
One fell off and then there was one
One little leaf in the tree all alone
The wind blew and blew now there are none!

The Leaves on the Tree
(Tune: Wheels on the Bus)
The leaves on the trees turn orange and red, 
orange and red, orange and red
The leaves on the trees turn orange and red, 
all around the town.

The leaves on the trees come twirling down, 
twirling down, twirling down
The leaves on trees come twirling down, 
all around 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 around the town.
