Scarecrows

We're the farmer's scarecrows
    We scare away the birds,
We keep the farmer's corn safe
Without any words.
But when Halloween comes
We jump out of the ground
And we scare the boys and girls
When they come walking 'round.

I'm a scary scarecrow made of straw,
(stand tall, and stretch out arms)
Listening for the crows to caw.
(cup hands to ears)
I watch the field all day and all night,too.
(hand to brow, searching motion)
If a crow comes by, I just say "Boo!"
(hands on your hips and shout Boo)

Scarecrows
Tune: Sing a Song of Sixpence

We're the farmer's scarecrows
We scare away the birds,
We keep the farmer's corn safe
Without any words.
But when Halloween comes
 We jump out of the ground
And we scare the boys and girls
When they come walking 'round.

The Scarecrow

Scarecrow standing in the field
On a bright and sunny day,
 Don't forget to do your job.
Scare the hungry crows away!
 

Scarecrow, Scarecrow
Tune:  Twinkle, Twinkle

This is a fun, kinesthetic song to use when moving from one part of the room to another, or when you need to get the kids up-and-moving in order to settle them down again.

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!
Tough your head, jump up and down.
Now sit down without a sound.

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

* repeat, substituting other body parts ... arms, lets, head, etc.

Scarecrow
Tune: I'm A Little Teapot

I'm a little scarecrow
Stuffed with hay,
Standing watch in my field all day.
When I see a crow
I like to shout:
"Hey, Mr. Crow, you'd better get out!"

Five Crows All Shiny Black
Tune: Five Green And Speckled Frogs

Five crows all shiny black,
Sat on a scarecrow's back,
Eating some most delicious corn ... yum yum!
Scarecrow winked and shouted "Boo!"
Scared one crow and away he flew,
Now there are four black shiny crows, caw caw!
