“Autumn Leaves are Falling Down” is one of our most popular autumn songs for children. Children love this fun action song that invites them to actively participate as they learn about the autumn (fall) season. This action song is also great for indoor recess, group activities, morning meeting and brain breaks. Music makes learning fun and this is a great song to introduce your theme on autumn. It is ideal for preschool through lower elementary.

LYRICS:
Autumn leaves are changing colors, changing colors, changing colors. Autumn leaves are changing colors all over town. (Hold up both hands and turn them back and forth)
Autumn leaves are changing colors, changing colors, changing colors. Autumn leaves are changing colors all over town.
Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down. Autumn leaves are falling down, down to the ground. (Hold both hands up high, as you wiggle your fingers and bring them down towards the ground)
Autumn leaves are falling down, falling down, falling down. Autumn leaves are falling down, down to the ground.
Take a rake and rake them up, rake them up, rake them up. Take a rake and rake them up, on the ground. (Pretend to rake leaves)
Take a rake and rake them up, rake them up, rake them up. Take a rake and rake them up, on the ground.
Make a pile and jump in, and jump in, and jump in. Make a pile and jump in, on the ground. (Pretend to make a pile of leaves and then jump in)
Make a pile and jump in, and jump in, and jump in. Make a pile and jump in, on the ground.
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, autumn leaves, autumn leaves, autumn leaves, autumn leaves, are on the ground. (Hold your hands up high and sway them back and forth to the end of the song)
Autumn leaves, autumn leaves, autumn leaves, autumn leaves, autumn leaves, autumn leaves, are on the ground, are on the ground.

This CD includes many of my favorite Autumn songs. My students especially love singing “Grey Squirrel.” As we sing we use different voices to sound like the Mommy, Daddy, Baby, Grandma and Grandpa squirrels. The children laugh hard as my voice deepens to sound like Daddy and Grandpa.
I created a strip of orange, yellow, red, and brown leaves for each child to use as a prop as we sing, “Orange, Yellow, Red, and Brown.” They touch the appropriate color leaf as we sing the song.
For “Away Up High in an Apple Tree” I gave each child a tree cutout with 5 apples attached to them with Velcro. As we sing the song the children “pick” an apple off of their tree. I wasn’t sure how well the tag weight apples would hold up, but they are doing fine.
Now I am waiting impatiently for Winter Songs for Children and Summer Songs for Children. Hugs to you Laurie and Don!
