falling to the ground
Orange leaf, orange leaf

This rhyme is great for color recognition. Paper, felt or real dried leaves of different colors can be used by the librarian or passed out to the kids. Have everyone twirl around in a circle to the ryhme and then crouch down on the ground when the leaves fall. With older children, you can pass out different colors and ask children to stand up and do the rhyme with you only when the color they have is called.
