Songs/ Rhymes
Autumn leaves are falling down (London Bridges)
 Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down
Autumn leaves are falling down, orange, red, yellow, & brown.
 Take a rake and pile them up, pile them up, pile them up
Take a rake and pile them up, orange, red, yellow, & brown.
 Jump in them and toss them ‘round, toss them round, toss them round
Jump in them and toss them round, orange, red, yellow, & brown.

Five Little Leaves
 5 little leaves so bright and gay, were fluttering on the tree one day,
The wind came blowing through the town, and one little leaf came tumbling down.
 4 little leaves so bright and gay, were fluttering on the tree one day, the wind came blowing through the town, and one little leaf came tumbling down.
 3 little leaves so bright and gay, were fluttering on the tree one day,
The wind came blowing through the town, and one little leaf came tumbling down.
 2 little leaves so bright and gay, were fluttering on the tree one day,
The wind came blowing through the town, and one little leaf came tumbling down.
 1 little leaf so bright and gay, were fluttering on the tree one day,
The wind came blowing through the town, and one little leaf came tumbling down.
 5 little leaves so bright and gay were lying in the ground one day
The wind came blowing through the town and five little leaves went flying around.
