Unit 7 Songs

"Seedling Song"

Unit 7

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!

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)
