SEASONS OF THE APPLE TREE

Here is my trunk,  (Hands start at feet and move up the body)
I’m an apple tree.  (Spread arms out like branches).
In springtime blossoms bloom on me. 
They open; they open.  (Open hands.)

Here is my trunk, 
I’m an apple tree.
In summer apples grow on me.
They grow; they grow.  (Hands in fists.)

Her is my trunk,
I’m an apple tree.
In autumn apples fall from me.  (Turn fists over.)
They drop; they drop.   (Open hands downward.)

Here is my trunk,
I’m an apple tree.
In winter snowflakes fall on me.
I rest; I rest.   (Rest head on arm/branch)

ROUND THE APPLE TREE

Here we go round the apple tree,
The apple tree, the apple tree.
Here we go round the apple tree,
Here at the apple orchard.

Verse 2: This is the way the blossoms bloom…… so early in the springtime.

Verse 3: This is the way the bees buzz round…..and pollinate the blossoms.
Verse 4: This is the way the apples grow….all throughout the summer.
Verse 5: This is the way the apples are picked……at the orchard in the autumn.

Apple Song
(Sung to the tune of “Have You Ever Seen a Lassie”)

Have you ever seen an apple, an apple, an apple
Have you ever seen an apple, that grows on a tree?
A red one, a yellow one, a green one, a pink one
Have you ever seen an apple, that grows on a tree?

APPLES

Apples here (point to yourself)
Apples there (point away)
Apples are growing everywhere (hands form a circle…the world)
Some are high (point up)
Some are low (point down)
Look for apples wherever you go (point to eyes)
Apples on the left (extend left arm)
Apples on the right (extend right arm)
Pick one, eat one (reach for pretend apple, bite pretend apple)Tastes just right (rub stomach)

APPLE TREE

Way up high in the apple tree (stretch arm up high)
Two red apples smiled at me (hold up 2 fingers)
I gently twisted, turned sepal (bottom) to the sky

Got one more apple for apple pie.

APPLE TREE

This is the tree
With leaves so green.
(make leaves with fingers outstretched)
Here are the apples
That hang in between.
(make fist)
When the wind blows
(blow)
The apples will fall,
(falling motion with hand)
Here is the basket to gather them all.
(use arms to form basket)

Sing to the tune: I’m a Little Teapot

I’m a little apple, red and round,
I make a munchy, crunchy sound,
Take a juicy bite right into me-
‘Cause I’m delicious as can be!

Five Little Apples

Sung to “Five Little Monkeys”

Five little apples swinging in a tree
I sure wish one would fall to me
One fell down
And hit the ground
Now how many apples do you see?

Keep singing until all apples have fallen.

Apple Butter

An apple sat on the railroad track,
its heart was all a flutter.
Along came the 6-15,
and smoosh, squish Apple butter.

Apples small,
Apple trees tiny,
Apple trees tall.
Apples sour,
Apples sweet,
Apples, apples,
are nice to eat.

The Apple Star

Take an apple round and red.
Don’t slice down
Slice through instead.
Right inside it you will see
A star as pretty as can be!

Take an apple round and red.
Don’t slice down, slice through instead.
Look inside it and you’ll see,
A special star for you and me!

On the tree or on the ground.

Apples crunchy, apples sweet,
Apples are so good to eat!
