Movement song with fabric leaves:“The Leaves” 
(Tune: "The Wheels on the Bus")
(We sing the song two times: first in English, and then with a few words changed to Spanish.)

The leaves on the trees turn orange and red
Orange and red, orange and red,The leaves on the trees/Las hojas en los árboles turn orange and red.
All around the town.

The leaves on the trees go "swish, swish, swish,"
"swish, swish, swish, swish, swish, swish."
The leaves on the trees/Las hojas de los árboles go "swish, swish, swish."
All around the town.

The leaves of the tree come tumbling down,
tumbling down, tumbling down,
The leaves on the treesLas hojas de los árboles come tumbling down.
All Around the town.

We'll rake them in a pile and jump right in!
Jump right in, jump right in!
We’ll rake them in a pile/en un montón and jump right in.
All around the town.
