Songs and Movement

Scarecrow, Scarecrow

Turn around, touch the ground

Dance on your toes, touch your nose

Reach up high, touch the sky

Bend down low, touch your toe

Jump up now, take a bow

Stomp your feet, take a seat

Silly Dance Contest

Jim Gill

clap each syllable

Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin bread

Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin eyes

Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin cake

Fall Riddles

Beneath your feet you hear them crunch

Then they get raked up into a bunch.

What are they?

LEAVES

This drops off trees and there it lies

Til someone baked it into pies.

What is it?

APPLE

This stand in the field and scares a bird

But doesn't say a single word.

What is it?

SCARECROW

Of all the flowers this one's queen

With yellow petals and seeds between.

What is it?

SUNFLOWER

It's big and orange and quite a catch

When you pick it from the patch.

What is it?

PUMPKIN

Open Ended Art

Orange, black, brown, green purple paper

Lots of paper scraps

Scissors, glue sticks, crayons
