Instructions

1. Cut the paper into large leaf shapes, one for each child.
2. Have the children hold up their leaves when their color is sung. This
should go fairly fast, like a wave at a sporting event.
3. Sing the following song to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus":
The leaves change to orange,
Red, yellow, and brown,
Red, yellow, and brown,
Red, yellow, and brown,
The leaves change to orange,
Red, yellow, and brown,
And soon will all fall down.
4. At the end, everyone falls to the ground.
