Scarecrow Songs - for preschoolers

SCARECROW SONGS    

I'm a Little Scarecrow

Sung to: "I'm a little Teapot"

I'm a little scarecrow,
Raggedy and worn
I wear a hat,
And a shirt that's torn
When the crows come,
I wave and shout,
"Away from my Garden
Get on Out

The Floppy Scarecrow

The Floppy, floppy scarecrow
Guards his fields all day.
He waves his floppy, floppy hands
To scare the crows away!
Repeat and replace Hands with arms, toes, head, legs, etc?

Scarecrow

Sung to: "Teddy Bear, Teddy bear turn around"

Scarecrow, Scarecrow, turn around.
Scarecrow, scarecrow, jump up and down
Scarecrow, scarecrow, arms up high
Scarecrow, Scarecrow, wink one eye
Scarecrow, scarecrow, bend your knee
Scarecrow, scarecrow, flap in the breeze
Scarecrow, scarecrow, climb into bed
Scarecrow, scarecrow, rest your head

Fall Movement Songs for Little Ones

Gray Squirrel

Gray Squirrel, Gray Squirrel

Shake your bushy tail.

Gray Squirrel, Gray Squirrel

Shake your bushy tail.

Wrinkle up your funny nose

Put a nut between your toes.

Shake your bushy tail.

The Leaves Are Falling Down

The leaves are falling down,

the leaves are falling down,

Red, yellow, green and brown,

The leaves are falling down.

Pumpkin, Pumpkin

Now you are a great big ball.
