Fall Songs for Young Children

Seasonal songs serve as a musical reflection of the ever-shifting environment, celebrating the beauty and significance of each season and a deeper appreciation for the cyclical nature of life. This approach fosters a sense of connection to the natural world and helps children develop a heightened awareness of time's passage, instilling a sense of harmony and balance with the world around them.

The following are some fun fall songs to incorporate into your daily rhythm this season.

Autumn is the Time

Autumn is the time,
for harvest and golden leaves;
birds form flocks and fly away.
Halloween for fun;
Thanksgiving for thoughtfulness;
shadows grow longer every day.

In the Dim October Morning

In the dim October morning,
hear the birds sing to the dawning.
"Welcome! Do come!
Day has surely come again!"

It's Halloween

Tonight is the night
when dead leaves fly
like witches on switches
across the sky;
when elf and sprite
flit through the night
on a mooning sheen-
(whisper) It's Halloween!

Tonight is the night
when pumpkins stare
through sheaves
and leaves
everywhere;
when ghoul and ghost
and goblin host
dance around their queen -
(whisper) It's Halloween!

There Was An Old Witch

There was an old witch,
believe it if you can,
she tapped on the window
and she ran, ran, ran.
She ran helter skelter
with her toes in the air,
corn stalks flying from
the old witch's hair.

There was an old witch,
believe it, if you will,
she flew through the air,
very fast until
she stopped, waved her wand,
then she croaked, "Goodbye,
Halloween night,
when the witches fly!"

"Swish," goes the broomstick,
"Meow," goes the cat,
"Plop," goes the hophead,
sitting on her hat.
"Wee," chuckled I,
"What fun, fun, fun,
Halloween night,
when the witches run!"
