Leaves in the Fall Songs

Leaves are Falling  Sung to "Are you sleeping?"

Red leaves falling, Red leaves falling   (wiggle fingers down to the ground)

On the ground, on the ground   (Hit floor 3 times)Autumn time is coming, autumn time is coming   (Clap 3 times)All around, all around   (Spread arms around in circle)

Substitute Red for the fall colors: Orange, yellow, brown.

Idea #1: You can cut out leaves from paper and pretend they are falling

Idea #2: Use scarves to pretend with as you sing about the leaves falling

Idea #3: Have leaves cut out and spread out on the floor or table. Tell the children they have to find the leaf you sing about it the song


Leaves are Falling  Sung to “Jingle Bells”

Leaves are falling, Leaves are falling

One fell on my nose

Leaves are falling, Leaves are falling

One fell on my toes

Leaves are falling, Leaves are falling

One fell on my head

Leaves are falling, Leaves are falling

Yellow, orange and red

This is the way Sung to “Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush”

This is the way we rake the leaves, rake the leaves, rake the leaves

This is the way we rake the leaves at Autumn time

Throw the leaves

Jump in the leaves

Five little leaves

Five little leaves in the autumn breeze

Tumbled and fluttered down from the trees

The 1st leaf said “I am red

I shall rest in a flower bed”

The 2nd leaf said “I am yellow

I’m a happy-go-lucky fellow”

The 3rd leaf said “I am green

I change color so you shall see”

The 4th leaf said “Orange am I

Brightly colored I will fly”

The 5th leaf said “I am brown

I shall blow all over town”

The leaves on the trees Sung to “The Wheels on the Bus”

The leaves on the trees are changing colors

Changing colors, changing colors

The leaves on the trees are changing colors

All around town

The wind makes the leaves go “Swish,swish, swish”

Then the leaves come tumbling down

The leaves on the ground make a crackling sound

We’ll rake them up into a pile

It Must Be Autumn  Sung to “When the Saints go Marching In”

Oh, when the leaves fall off the trees

Oh, when the leaves fall off the trees

We know it must be autumn

When the leaves fall off the trees

When the wind begins to blow

When the leaves are changing colors

When the squirrel gathers his food

When there’s a chill out in the air

When we put our jackets on
