POEM: Five Big Leaves​

Consider collecting leaves from the outdoors to use while reciting the​ poem. Hold up five fingers and recite the following poem. Put a finger down each time a leaf falls.​

​

Five big leaves, blowing in the breeze.​

One blew away when I had a big sneeze!

[pretend to sneeze]​

Four big leaves, blowing to and fro.​

One flew away. Where did it go? [shrug shoulders]​

Three big leaves, blowing all around.​

One flutters softly down to the ground.

[flutter hand to ground]​

Two big leaves, blowing as I play.​

A gust of wind blows one of them away! [blow]​

One big leaf, blowing all alone.​

I’ll pick it up and take it home. [wave]​
