                       ground.” 
                       The third one said, “I’ll sail to 
                       town.”

ScarecrowScarecrow (tune of twinkle twinkle little star)
Scarecrow, scarecrow turn around,
Scarecrow scarecrow touch the ground.
Stand up tall and blink your
eyes.
                       Raise your hands up to the 
                       sky.
                       Clap your hands then tap your
                       knees. 
                       Turn around and tap your feet.
                       Scarecrow, scarecrow touch 
                       your toes.
                       Scarecrow, scarecrow tap your
                       nose.
                       Swing your arms so very  
                       slow, 
                       Now real fast to scare the 
                       crows
                       Raise your head, jump up and
                       down.
                       
Now sit down without a
                       sound.
ScarecrowThe old scarecrow is such a funny man.
He flops in the wind as hard as he can.
He flops to the right,
He flops to the left.
He flops back and forth
                        Till he’s almost out of breath.
                        His arms swing out; his legs
                        swing, too.
                        He nods his head in a How-do
                        -you-do?
                        See him flippity flop when the
                        wind blows hard,
                        The funny scarecrow in our 
                        backyard.

Whisky,frisky,hippity hop:
Up he goes to the tree top. (hold up  arm)
Whirly,twirly,round and round:  (move arm in circle)
Down he scampers to the
                  ground (bring arm down)
                  Furly, curly, what a tail:
                  tall as a feather, broad as a snail. 
                 (extend arms vertically and
                 horizontally)
                 Where’s his supper?
                 It’s  in the shell.
                 Snippity, crickity, out it fell.

                        called.

5 Little Apples Hanging In A Tree (sung to tune of “Five Little Monkeys”)5 Little Apples hanging from a tree,
Teasing Farmer Brown “Can’t Pick Me,”

And he picked one apple right out of that tree!

1 Little Apple hanging in a Tree,
Teasing Farmer Brown “Can’t pick me,”
Along came Farmer Brown as quiet as can be,
And he picked that apple right out of that

with me,
The rest are in a pie, as warm as can be,
Topped with yummy ice cream and served 
with tea!

Five Fat TurkeysFive Fat Turkeys
Five fat Turkeys are we,
we slept all night in a tree
When the cook came
around we couldn’t be found,
                          so  that’s why we’re here 
                          you see.
What Am I?I See something Big and Round,
I see something on the ground.
It’s Orange and Smoothe,  
It harvests in the Fall.
                                Their sometimes big, 
                                medium, and yes small.
                                Can you guess what I 
                                can see?
                                Raise your hand and tell
                                it to me!

Five Little SkeletonsFive little skeletons dancing in the door,
One tripped and fell, and now there’s only four.
Four little skeletons happy as can be,
One fell apart, and now there’s only three.
Three little skeletons stirring up some brew,
One fell in, and now there’s only two.
Two little skeletons looking for some fun,
One got lost, and now there’s only one.
One little skeleton, nothing left to do,
It’s Halloween, and he’s coming for you! Boo!
