Way Up High in the Apple Tree with actions

February 29, 2020 by ajpassey Leave a Comment

Way Up High in the Apple Tree

Way up high in the apple tree (reach up high, spread fingers pretending to be a tree)
Five little apples smiled down at me (Put fingers on cheeks make smile or make circles with hands and put around eyes, like pretending to have binoculars)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (pretend to shake the tree)
Down came the apples (bring hands down wiggling fingers, like failing rain)
Mmmmm, they were good! (rub tummy)

Way up high in the apple tree
Four little apples smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmm, they were good!

Way up high in the apple tree
Three little apples smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmm, they were good!

Way up high in the apple tree
Two little apples smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came the apples
Mmmmm, they were good!

Way up high in the apple tree
One little apple smiled down at me
I shook that tree as hard as I could
Down came that apple
Mmmmm, it was good!

Now the apples are all gone!
