"Seedling Song"
Unit 6
Song: In order to review this concept, the teacher leads the children in the “Seedling Song” in order to further their understanding of the life cycle of a seed. Sing the chorus after getting the children in position for each stage of the life cycle of a seed, including seed, sprout, seedling, plant, and full-grown plant-bearing fruit. The song is repeated several times to get the children moving! Teacher/s should join as well!
Lyrics
Chorus
Water and sunshine every day, every day, every day
Water and sunshine every day and you grow, grow, grow
Start as a seed (everyone crouch down low into a little ball on the ground)
After getting water and sunlight, you start to grow into a sprout (everyone stands up just a little bit in a squatting position)
After more watering and sunlight, you become a seedling (stand up just a little bit more and raise your arms halfway)
After even more watering and sunlight, you grow even taller into a plant (Stand up all the way with your arms raised)
After a few months, you’re a fully grown plant with fruit that is ready to be harvested (ball up your hands into fists and reach out or up, representing flowers and/or fruit/vegetables)
“Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes”
Unit 6
Song: The teacher explains that just as plants grow up to be big and strong, so do we. The teacher leads the children in the “Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes!” song.
Instruct the children to place both hands on the part of the body as they are mentioned. Walk through each body part to ensure they understand before starting. Repeat the song several times and speed up with each verse.
Lyrics
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes,
Knees and toes.
Head shoulders, knees and toes,
Knees and toes.
And eyes, and ears, and mouth,
And nose.
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes,
Knees and toes.
