Green Grass Grows All Around is a popular sing along song. This song teaches children sequencing through the repetition of a series of events.
Using Music to Teach Sequencing Skills:
Sequencing is the ability to place events, images, thoughts and objects in a logical order. Why is sequencing important for children? Sequencing is an essential skill for beginner readers. It is the foundation for story comprehension and writing. For some children, sequencing can be a hard concept to grasp. Music makes learning fun, and this song is an enjoyable way to practice sequencing with your children.
This song is also a great addition to your seasonal theme on spring, and is ideal for morning meeting, circle time, indoor recess and group activities. Also, because the lyrics are displayed in the video, this song is perfect for early readers and English as a second language (ESL) learning programs.

LYRICS:
There’s a tree in the hole and the hole in the ground and the green grass grows all around, all around, the green grass grows all around.
And on that tree (and that tree) there was a branch (there was a branch), the strongest little branch (the strongest little branch) that you ever did see (that you ever did see).
Oh, the branch on the tree and the tree in the hole and the hole in the ground and the green grass grows all around, all around, the green grass grows all around.
And on that branch (and on that branch) there was a nest (there was a nest). The cutest little nest (the cutest little nest) that you ever did see (that you ever did see).
Oh, the nest on the branch and the branch on the tree and the tree in the hole and the hole in the ground and the green grass grows all around, all around, the green grass grows all around.
And in that nest (and on that nest) there was a bird (there was a bird), the sweetest little bird (the sweetest little bird) that you ever did see (that you ever did see).
Oh, the bird in the nest and the nest on the branch and the branch on the tree and the tree in the hole and the hole in the ground and the green grass grows all around, all around, the green grass grows all around.
And on that bird (and on that bird) there was a flea (there was a flea), the smallest little flea (the smallest little flea) that you ever did see (that you ever did see).
Oh, the flea on the bird and the bird in the nest and the nest on the branch and the branch on the tree and the tree in the hole and the hole in the ground and the green grass grows all around, all around, the green grass grows all around.
And on that flea (and on that flea) there was a grin (there was a grin), the slyest little grin (the slyest little grin) that you ever did see (that you ever did see).
Oh, the grin on the flea and the flea on the bird and the bird in the nest and the nest on the branch and the branch on the tree and the tree in the hole and the hole in the ground and the green grass grows all around, all around, the green grass grows all around. And the green grass grows all around, all around, the green grass grows all around.
