FALL LEAVES
Down, down, yellow and brown,
Fall the leaves over the ground.
Rake them up in a pile so high,
Until they reach up to the sky.
                                Adapted Traditional

DANCING LEAVES Tune:  “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”
Let’s join hands and circle round As we watch the leaves fall down. See them twirling, here and there. See them dancing, everywhere. Move your hands like falling leaves, Watch them twirling, in the breeze.                                                 Jean Warren
FALLING LEAVES Tune: "London Bridges Falling Down"    Pretty leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down. Pretty leaves are falling down, all over town.
Some are orange and some are brown, some are brown, some are brown. Some are orange and some are brown, watch the leaves fall down.
Some are yellow and some are red, some are red, some are red. Some are yellow and some are red, leaves fall on my head.

Five little ghosts flying ‘cross the moor, (ghosts fly around)
One went home, that left four.

Four little ghosts dancing ‘round the tree, (puppets dance)
Another went home, that left three.

Three little ghosts over the houses flew, (puppets fly over our heads)
Another went home, that left two.

Two little ghosts, having lots of fun, (puppets dance and wiggle)
Another went home, that left one.

One little ghost, now all alone,
He got so lonely, he flew back home.
