Our main bulletin board changes to fall things around the end of September.
Scarecrows are a fun symbol of this time of year.
Our town is surrounded by small farms and gardens, so scarecrows are a familiar sight.
I have adapted my fall scene from pictures and ideas I found on the KinderKorner website (one of my most favorite sites!).

The Floppy Scarecrow
The floppy, floppy scarecrow
Guards his field all day.
He waves his floppy, floppy hands
To scare the crows away!

Repeat the poem, replacing the red body-part word
with each of the following in turn:
arms, elbows, head, legs, knees, feet, ankles, toes.

Scarecrow, Scarecrow
(Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle)

Scarecrow, scarecrow turn around.
Scarecrow, scarecrow touch the ground.
Stand up tall and blink your eyes.
Raise your hands up to the sky.
Clap your hands,
then tap your knees.
Turn around and tap your feet.

Scarecrow, scarecrow touch your toes.
Scarecrow, scarecrow tap your nose.
Swing your arms so very slow,
Now real fast to scare the crows!
Touch your head, jump up and down.
Not sit down without a sound.

Scarecrow
(the tune of "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear Turn Around")

Scarecrow, scarecrow, turn around.
Scarecrow, scarecrow, jump up and down.
Scarecrow, scarecrow, arms up high.
Scarecrow, scarecrow, wink one eye.
Scarecrow, scarecrow, bend your knees.
Scarecrow, scarecrow, flap in the breeze.
Scarecrow, scarecrow, climb into bed.
Scarecrow, scarecrow, rest your head.

I'm a Little Scarecrow

I'm a little scarecrow,
Raggedy and worn
I wear a hat,
And a shirt that's torn
When the crows come,
I wave and shout,
"Away from my garden-get on out!"
