Oats and Beans and Barley Grow!?

[Guest]

same tune as I'm a little teapot

 

I'm a little seed, small and round ( children curl into a ball)

buried deep in the ground ( I do a very deep voice)

sprinkle on some water, ( a child is chosen to pretent to pour water over seeds)

and some sunshine too ( another child chosen to wave arms - sun rays - over seeds)

watch me grow as tall as you ( children slowly stand arms stretched up on tiptoe)

 

Have fun.

The gardner (or farmer) plants a seed X2

Hey ho the cherry-oh

The gardner plants a seed.

 

The rain begins to fall ...

 

The sun begins to shine ...

 

The roots grow underground ..

 

The stem begins to grow

 

The leaves are making food

 

The buds all open up

 

The flower smiles at me ...

 

We did very simple actions for each verse, and although it might seem long, the children found it easy to learn because it's so repetative. The tune is really simple, but can't think if it's from a rhyme or other song.

 

Good luck with your assembly,
