Fall Circle Time Poems and Activities

THE LEAVES ARE FALLING DOWN (Tune: "The Farmer in the Dell")
Give each child a colored leaf to wear around their necks so they can be picked during
the game when their color is sung.
The leaves are falling down
The leaves are falling down
Red, yellow, green and brown
The leaves are falling down
The green leaf takes the brown (continue with orange, red, yellow etc.)
The green leaf takes the brown,
Red, yellow, green, and brown
The leaves are falling down.


RING AROUND THE LEAVES (Tune: Ring Around the Rosie)
Ring around the pile, autumn makes us smile,
leaves, leaves, they all fall down.


FALLING LEAVES
All the leaves are falling down (flutter fingers downward)
Orange, green, red, and brown. (flutter fingers)
If you listen, you'll hear them say, (cup hands around ears)
"Wintertime is on it's way." (whispering)


RAIN OF LEAVES by Aileen Fisher
It’s raining big,
It’s raining small,
It’s raining autumn leaves
In fall.
It’s raining gold
And red and brown
As autumn leafves
Come raining down.
It’s raining everywhere
I look.
It’s raining bookmarks
On my books
