If You’re Ever in the Forest

(Tune: “Did You Ever See a Lassie?”)
If you’re ever in the forest,
The forest, the forest,
If you’re ever in the forest,
You might see some deer—
A young one and an old one,
And some that can quickly run. (Run in place.)
If you’re ever in the forest,
You might see some deer.

If you’re ever in the forest,
The forest, the forest,
If you’re ever in the forest,
You might see some rabbits.–
They hop here, and they hop there, (Jump like rabbits.)
they hop, hop, hop everywhere.
If you’re ever in the forest,
You might see some rabbits.

There’s Something in the Forest

There’s something in the forest, that I can’t really see. There’s something in the forest. Now what can it be? 

• I’m an animal who’s big, brown, furry and who, “Roars!”
• I’m an animal  who has long ears and goes, hop, hop, hop!.
• I’m an animal who’s small, has a striped back and loves to eat nuts.
• I’m an animal who looks very huggable but I will poke if you squeeze.
• I’m an animal who’s tiny and makes very quiet “squeaks”.
• I’m an animal who chomps on trees and gives my tail a “slap”.
• I’m an animal who loves water plants and has big decorations on my head.
• I’m an animal who soars in the air and makes high pitched whistles.

Feelings

Sung to Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
I have feelings, so do you.
Let’s all sing about a few.
We get happy, we get sad.
We get scared, we get mad.
I am proud of being me
That’s a feeling, too, you see.
I have feelings, so do you.
We just sang about a few.

Leaves Are Falling

(Tune: London Bridge)
Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down
Autumn leaves are falling down, all around the town.

The wind will blow them round and round, round and round, round and round
The wind will blow them round and round all around the town.

They’re drifting gently to the ground, to the ground, to the ground
They’re drifting gently to the ground, all around the town.

Take a rake a rake them up, rake them up, rake them up,
Take a rake and rake them up all around the town.

Once you were a seed so small (pinch fingers together)
Now you are a great big ball (make a big circle overhead)
Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground (touch the ground)
How’d you get so big and round? (make a big circle)
