Song: “Orange, Yellow, Red and Brown” (Tune: “Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes”) (use colored felt leaves)
Orange, yellow, red and brown, red and brown.
Orange, yellow, red and brown, red and brown.
And autumn leaves are twirling all around. (hold your arms out to your sides and spin them around and around)
Orange, yellow, red and brown, red and brown.
Orange, yellow, red and brown, red and brown.
Orange, yellow, red and brown, red and brown.
And autumn leaves are dancing in the breeze. (hold your arms up and dance them all around)
Orange, yellow, red and brown, red and brown.
Orange, yellow, red and brown, red and brown.
Orange, yellow, red and brown, red and brown.
And autumn leaves are falling to the ground. (lay down on the floor)
Orange, yellow, red and brown, red and brown.
