Way Up High

Way up high in the apple tree (hands above head)Two little apples smiled at me.(form apples with hands still raised)I shook that tree as hard as I could (shaking motion)
Down came the apples. (drop hands)
Ummmmmmmmm. They were good! (rub stomach)

Autumn Is Here 

Acorns drop – plop, plop, plop! (drop to the floor; pat it with your hands) 

Colored leaves in the breeze. (twirl like a leaf) 

Pumpkins bright, what a sight! (hold arms out to resemble a pumpkin) 

Autumn is here – give a cheer! (jump up and down in excitement)
