Apples on the apple tree song

Apple Tree Apple Tree Circle Game

The Apple Tree circle game is just right for the last days of Summer. It is often used in playground games as a way of eliminating players so that the last person left can be chosen to start the next game.

There are many lovely traditions to celebrate the turning of the season from Summer to Autumn, but this is also a great game to play during circle time at any time of the year.

The Apple Tree Circle Game Song

Apple tree, apple tree,

Will your apple fall on me?

I won’t cry, I won’t shout,

If your apple knocks me out!

How to Play The Apple Tree Circle Game

You can sing the song in two ways:

The simplest version is where the children sit in a circle and pass an apple around on the beat as they all sing the short song. The child who is holding the apple on ‘out’ must sit out of the circle. The song continues until there is only one player left.

The last person wins the apple or can be chosen one to start the next game. Some children find being ‘out’ rather difficult. I have found that one of the best ways to overcome this is to play this sort of game quite rapidly and frequently, so that everyone experiences the process and no one feels like the odd one out.

Or for slightly older children you can play it as a proper circle game as seen in the video below.

This very simple song uses just So, Mi and La intervals, so it’s a good way to teach the Solfege or Do-Re-Mi degrees of the scale. So, Me and Li are the first intervals to introduce as they are the easiest to pitch. So many nursery rhymes are based on these three notes (Ring-A-Ring-A-Roses is a good example) and they are the easiest and most natural for small children to sing.

The Apple Tree Action Rhyme (for toddlers)

Younger children who might not be ready to play the Apple Tree Apple Tree circle game above will enjoy this simple rhyme with actions. Finger rhymes are brilliant for speech development and building the imagination. These words fit very well to the traditional lullaby Rock a Bye Baby, so you can sing the words too.

Here is the tree with leaves so green,

Here are the apples that hang in between,

When the wind blows, the apples will fall,

And here is a basket to gather them all.

What a great activity! Music is a wonderful way to learn!

Dawn Hoard says

What a great song and game! I plan on using it for a transition to handwashing before snack. When the children are “out” they then go wash hands. Thanks for the wonderful idea!

That sounds fun! Now the kids will always love going to wash their hands! 🙂

I am an independent sales rep for a chemical-free cleaning company that happens to be planting 20,000 trees in honor of their 20th anniversary. In honor of this, I am creating a Pinterest board all about trees. I found your activity and could not resist adding it! Thanks for developing a fun activity for littler kids!

Thanks so much for including our Apple Tree Circle Game on your Pinterest board 🙂

Christmas Around The World

A Mama Lisa eBook

People everywhere love Christmas – but we don’t all celebrate it the same way.

Mama Lisa’s Christmas Around The World is a celebration of the diversity and love with which many different cultures mark this joyful time of year.

You’ll read about:

• How in Italy it’s not Santa Claus who gives gifts to all the children. It’s La Befana, a friendly witch!
• How Scandinavians mark the end of the season by “plundering” the Christmas Tree on St. Knut’s Day. That’s a fun way to get children to help with the post-holiday clean-up!
• How in Colombia, in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s usually warm in December. So Christmas is celebrated like a giant outdoor block party!

The first part of the book covers some of the traditions that take place on days other than Christmas itself, like St. Nick’s Day and Epiphany. The history and meaning of these holidays is discussed, often with examples of traditional songs.

The second part presents beloved traditions and songs from many different nations. The songs are given in the original languages and with English translations.

What makes the book really special is the many comments from Mama Lisa’s correspondents who have shared stories and memories from their own lives. The memories of childhood touch us forever!

Many of the songs featured also include links to the Mama Lisa website, where you can find recordings, videos and sheet music.

THIS IS A DOWNLOADABLE EBOOK AVAILABLE INSTANTLY.

Перевод песни Snowflakes (White Apple Tree)

Snowflakes

Снежинки

Feeling like I know the words
Of a song I haven’t wrote
A song of love, a song of hope
A song that guides me down this road

A snowflake falls onto my cheek
As I wake up from distant sleep
I stand up dazed as I look around
What is this place that I have found?

Feeling like I know the words
Of a song I haven’t wrote
A song of love, a song of hope
A song that guides me down this road

The wind, it chills as it fills the sky
The neighbors smile as I walk by
It’s all so calm in this cold night air
Where the people sing without care

Though I know not where I step
I’ll follow you until the death

Though I know not where I step
I’ll follow you

Feeling like I know the words
Of a song I haven’t wrote
A song of love, a song of hope
A song that guides me down this road

Feeling like I know the words

Feeling like I know the words
Of a song I haven’t wrote
A song of love, a song of hope
A song that guides me down this road

Чувствую, что знаю слова
Песни, которую не писал.
Песни любви, песня надежды,
Песни, которая ведет меня по этому пути.

Снежинка падает на мою щеку,
Когда я просыпаюсь от давнего сна.
Я встаю с удивлением, смотрю по сторонам.
Что за место я нашел?

Чувствую, что знаю слова
Песни, которую не писал.
Песни любви, песня надежды,
Песни, которая ведет меня по этому пути.

Ветер. Холодает, когда он наполняет небо.
Соседи улыбаются, когда я прохожу мимо.
Так спокойно в этом холодном ночном воздухе,
Где люди беззаботно поют.

Хотя я не знаю, куда ступаю,
Я буду следовать за тобой до последнего.

Хотя я не знаю, куда ступаю,
Я буду следовать за тобой.

Чувствую, что знаю слова
Песни, которую не писал.
Песни любви, песня надежды,
Песни, которая ведет меня по этому пути.
