Autumn Leaves Are Falling Down : Songs For Autumn

Autumn Leaves Are Falling Down is always a great favourite among the Songs For Autumn. It is sung to the tune of ‘London Bridge’, so it is easy to pick up with a repetitive refrain.

Autumn leaves are falling down,

Falling down, falling down,

Autumn leaves are falling down,

 On the ground.

*

Find a broom and start to sweep,

Start to sweep, start to sweep,

Find a broom and start to sweep,

Start to sweep.

*

And make them in a great big heap,

 A great big heap, a great big heap,

And make them in a great big heap,

On the ground

*

But here comes the wind to blow them round,

Blow them round, blow them round,

Here comes the wind to blow them round,

On the ground.

(repeat as many times as you like!)

This song is great to sing outside when you are actually tidying the garden, it is a good way to involve children and have some fun together while doing some chores. All you need is a broom and lots of energy!

If you are inside, kids still love playing it with real leaves, just collect some nice ones when you are out for a walk, and bring them home. As long as they aren’t muddy, you can throw them all over the place, and then get the kids to tidy them up!
