One red, two red, three red apples,
Four red, five red, six red apples,
Seven red, eight red, nine red apples,
Ten red apples, Yum! Yum! Yum! (rub tummy on yums)
Repeat for yellow, green and brown apples, but last line of brown verse ends..
10 brown apples Yuk! Yuk! Yuk! (push away with both hands)

All Around The Apple Tree

Sung to the tune of "Mulberry Bush"

Here we go round the apple tree, the apple tree, the apple tree
Here we go around the apple tree
On a frosty morning.
This is the way we climb the ladder
-pick the apples
-wash the apples
-peel the apples
-cook the apples

Flannelboard:    

Five Red Apples

Five red apples hanging on a tree (five fingers held up)
The juiciest apples you ever did see! (rub tummy)
The wind came past (cup hands around mouth and blow) And gave an angry frown (shake head and look angry) And one little apple came tumbling down.
Four red apples, etc.

Movement Games:    

Worm Through the Apple

Children stand in a line with feet apart. One child is the "worm" and crawls through the "apple" (children's feet). When the child reaches the end the next person in line becomes the "worm".

 
Pass the Apple

Play just like Hot Potato. The children pass an apple until the music stops. Who ever is holding it when the music stops is sent to the apple patch (the center of the circle).
