It's Autum Time
(by Cindee, UT) |
Week One
I had yellow red and brown leaf cut outs glued to a
popcycle stick.
We passed them out to the children and did actions with
the sticks as we sang the song.
It's autumn time ... sway side to side above head
leaves falling down ... slowly lower leaf as if falling
It's autumn time .... sway side to side above head
around the town ... circle leaf above your head
It's autumn time .... sway side to side above head
yellow, red, brown ... raise leaf when color is said
It's autumn time .... sway side to side above head
colors can be found ... shake leaf above head
Week Two
I had them sing the song in review. And then told them
that I had a surprise for them. I asked them to sing it again and while
they sang I (and a helper) tossed artificial leaves out to them, up above
their heads. It was so fun. We then cleaned up the leaves but I told them
to look carefully because some of the leaves had the name of the other songs
we would be singing that day.
Week Three
I made a leaf blowing box. It had a hole in the side for
me to insert the wind (hairdryer on cool setting) and a hole in the back for
the children to stick their hand in to try and "catch a song" It's Autumn
time was one of the songs on the leaves inside the box. They really enjoyed
the leaf box.
NOTE:
My junior kids love singing this song and would probably sing it every week
if they could. Seniors were a little bored with it
last week and that was only week three. So I thought I
would introduce the actions this week, maybe that will make it different for
them.
