Welcome Fall

OPENING STRETCH
Hello toes. Goodbye toes.
Hello toes. Goodbye toes.
My toes are feeling shy today.
And now they're feeling better

Repeat with elbows and hands.

OPENING RHYMES
Hey diddle diddle. The cat and the fiddle.
The cow jumped over the moon.
The little dog laughed to see such sport.
And the dish ran away with the spoon.

Itsy bitsy spider went up the water spout
Down came the rain and washed the spider out.
Out came the sun and dried up all the rain.
And the itsy bitsy spider went up the spout again.

Open them, shut them. Open them, shut them.
Give a little clap, clap, clap.
Open them, shut them. Open them, shut them.
Lay them in your lap, lap, lap.

The best gift of all By Jonathan Emmett

Word of the day: RAIN

Rain is falling down, SPLASH!
Rain is falling down, SPLASH!
Pitter patter, pitter patter,
Rain is falling down, SPLASH!

Rain on the green grass. Rain on the trees.
Rain on the rooftops. And not on me!

Song with Felt Animals
A-hunting we will go, a-hunting we will go.
We'll catch a mouse and put her in a house.
And then we'll let her go.

Willaby wallaby wee. An elephant sat on me.
Willaby wallaby woo. An elephant sat on you.
Willaby wallaby wouse. An elephant sat on mouse.

Move over Rover By Karen Beaumont

MOVEMENT RHYME
If it's raining and you know it splash around
If it's raining and you know it splash around.
If it's raining and you know it,
Then your face will surely show it.
If it's raining and you know it splash around.
Continue with other weather verses:
If it's windy and you know it spin around
If it's cold and you know it shiver and shake
If it's sunny and you know it shout hooray!

Little leaves are falling down.
Red and yellow, orange and brown.
Whirling, twirling, round and round,
Falling softly to the ground.

1 leaf, 2 leaves, 3 leaves today.
4 leaves, 5 leaves.
Woosh.
Blow them all away.

Leaf man By Lois Ehlert

GOODBYE SONGS
See you later, alligator. After awhile, crocodile.
See you soon, little baboon. Bye, bye, butterfly.
I'm out the door, dinosaur. ROAR!

Make new friends, and keep the old.
One is silver, and the other's gold.
A circle is round; it has no end.
That's how long I want to be your friend.
