The farmer plants the seeds The farmer plants the seeds
Hi, Ho and Cherry O
The farmer plants the seeds
The rain begins to fall
The sun begins to shine
The plants begin to grow
The buds all open up
The flowers smile at me
Parts of the plants Sung to: "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes"
Do you know the parts of plants, parts of plants?
Do you know the parts of plants, parts of plants?
All kinds of plants that grow and grow and grow.
Do you know the parts of plants, parts of plants?
The roots hold the plant in place, plant in place.
The roots hold the plant in place, plant in place.
The roots store food and water too.
The roots hold the plant in place, plant in place.
The stem moves water up the plant, up the plant.
The stem moves water up the plant, up the plant.
The stem brings water to the leaves.
The stem moves water up the plant, up the plant.
The leaves soak up the sun, soak up the sun.
The leaves soak up the sun, soak up the sun.
The sun helps the plant to grow and grow and grow.
The leaves soak up the sun, soak up the sun.
The flower grows into a fruit, into a fruit.
The flower grows into a fruit, into a fruit.
Inside the fruit are little, tiny seeds.
The flower grows into a fruit, into a fruit.
Daffodils fingerplay
One little daffodil had nothing much to do,
Out popped another one, then there were two.
Two little daffodils were smiling at a bee,
Out popped another one, then there were three.
Three little daffodils were growing by the door,
Out popped another one, then there were four.
Four little daffodils were glad to be alive,
Out popped another one, then there were five.
Five little daffodils were wearing golden crowns,
They danced in the breeze in green satin gowns.
The Planting Flowers Song (sung to "Peanut, Peanut Butter, and Jelly
First you take the seed and you plant it, you plant it
Chorus: Planting, Planting Flowers, for Springtime
Next you take a shovel and you dig, you dig
Chorus: Planting, Planting Flowers, for Springtime
Put it in the soil and you cover, you cover
Chorus: Planting, Planting Flowers, for Springtime
Next you take the can and you water, you water
Chorus: Planting, Planting Flowers, for Springtime
Give it lots of sun and it will sprout, will sprout
Chorus: Planting, Planting Flowers, for Springtime
Look at all the flowers that are growing, are growing
Chorus: Planting, Planting Flowers, for Springtime
Five Spring Flowers
Five spring flowers, all in a row.
The first one said, "We need rain to grow!"
The second one said, "Oh my, we need water!"
The third one said, "Yes, it is getting hotter!"
The fourth one said, "I see clouds in the sky."
The fifth one said, "I wonder why?"
Then BOOM went the thunder
And ZAP went the lightning!
That springtime storm was really frightening!
But the flowers weren't worried–no, no, no, no!
The rain helped them to grow, grow, GROW!
Out in My Garden Sung to: "Down by the station"
Out in my garden early in the morning
see the little vegetables all in a row
see the rows of carrots
and the rows pf peas, water, hoe, grow, grow
In my garden please.
Teaching Ideas: Substitute carrots and peas for other vegetables
This is the way we plant the seeds
Sung to: "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush."
This is the way we plant our seeds,
Plant our seeds, plant our seeds.
This is the way we plant our seeds,
Early in the morning.
This is the way the wind does blow,
This is the way the rain comes down,
This is the way the sun shines bright,
This is the way the seed grows up,
This is the way we hoe the soil,
This is the way we pick our beans,
