Fingerplay: Away Up High in the Apple Tree
Away up high in an apple tree, (Children point high up at imaginary tree)
Two red apples smiled at me. (Place two apples on board)
I shook that tree as hard as I could; (Children pretend to shake the apple tree)
Down came those apples,
And mmmm, they were good! (Pretend to eat apples)
Story: The Earth and I by Frank Asch
Song: “Five Green and Speckled Frogs” (with frogs on a log)
Five Green and Speckled Frogs
sat on a speckled log
Eating some most delicious bugs.
Yuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmm…yuuummm!
One jumped into the pool,
where it was nice and cool.
Then there were four green speckled frogs,
Glub glub.
Additional verses:
Four green and speckled frogs…
Three green and speckled frogs…
Two green and speckled frogs…
One green and speckled frog…
…Then there were no green speckled frogs!
Glub glub, glub, glub
