Fall Songs, Poems and Flannel Board Activities
By Joyful Explorations
These songs and poems are perfect for celebrating autumn! This set contains 15 songs and poems about fall, with cute illustrations that can easily be used on a flannel board. (To use the illustrations on a flannel board, just cut them out and attach a piece of felt to the back.)
Flannel boards (or felt boards) are a fabulous method of sharing music and rhythm with children by using visual props along with songs. My collection of songs and poems will help you to use your flannel board to its fullest potential.
Please note: These are NOT holiday songs.
“Autumn Leaves”
“The Leaves are Falling Down”
“Pretty Leaves”

“The Floppy Scarecrow”
“Have You Ever Seen an Apple?”
“Two Little Crows”
“The Turkey”

"All the Leaves”
By Jason Litt
Get your class on beat! Included are 6 background tracks with ethnic flair -- tablas, djembes, bongos, and more ethnic percussion from Asia, India, and South America. The 6 tracks are at approximately 120bpm and also have a faster 142bpm just in case you want to get things really moving! (12 tracks total) I use these in my class for Orff, Boomwhacker, Rhythm Sticks, Dancing, Movement, or singing activities. The tracks go for about 2 minutes each and there's about 18 minutes worth of drum music in the ZIP file Have fun!
