Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground, (touch the ground)
How’d you get so big and round? (make a big circle)
Once you were a seed so small, (hold hands together)
Now you are a great big ball! (make a big circle)
Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground, (touch the ground)

Book: Pepo and Lolo and the Red Apple by Ana Martín Larrañaga

Rhyme: “Way Up High in the Apple Tree”
Way up high in the apple tree, (stretch arms in the air)
Two little apples smiled at me. (make two fists)
I shook that tree as hard as I could, (shake arms in the air)
And down came the apples, (drop fists to floor)
Mmm, were they good! (rub tummy)
