Apple Songs

Way Up High in the Apple Tree (Action Play)

Way up high in the apple tree (move body to look like tree)
Five little apples smiled at me (hold up # of fingers)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (shake tree)
DOWN came 1 apple (catch an ‘apple’ and pretend to eat)
Mm-mmm were they good! (rub belly)

Continue song with 4, 3, 2, 1 apples

Way up high in the apple tree (move body to look like tree)
Zero little apples smiled back at me (hold up no fingers)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (shake tree)
DOWN came NO apples (shrug confused)
They’re gone for good!

Nine Little Apples (finger play)

Let children hold up fingers as the sing and at the end make a fist to take a crunch out of their apple

Sung to the tune of “Ten Little Indians”

One little, two little, three little apples;
Four little, five little, six little apples;
Seven little, eight little, nine little apples—
Delicious as can be. Crunch!
