Here We Go Round the Apple Tree – An Active Way to Get Ready for Fall

Here’s a fall song that will get your students up and moving.

Round the Apple Tree

Sung to “Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush.”  (Children skip in a circle, holding hands, while singing the first verse, and then act out the rest.)
Verse 1:
Here we go round the apple tree,
The apple tree, the apple tree.
Here we go round the apple tree,
So early in the morning.

Verse 2: This is the way we plant the seeds.
Verse 3: This is the way the little seed sprouts.
Verse 4: This is the way it grows to a tree.
Verse 5: This is the way the flowers blossom.
Verse 6: This is the way the apples grow.
Verse 7: This is the way the apples are picked.
