Dig Into Reading: In the Garden

The Farmer and His Seeds

(Tune: "The Farmer in the Dell")

The farmer plants the seeds,

[Stoop and pretend to plant seeds.]

The farmer plants the seeds

Hi, Ho, the dairy-o,

The farmer plants the seeds.

Additional verses:

The sun comes out to shine

[Make a large circle with arms.]

The rain begins to fall

[Hands flutter up and down.]

The seeds begin to grow

[Stand up slowly.]

The farmer cuts them down

[Cutting motion.]

He binds them into sheaves

[Stand close together.]

And now we'll have some bread.

[Pretend to eat.]

Little Seed in the Ground

Little seed in the ground

[Crouch down on the floor, hands covering heads.]

Sitting so still

[Stay crouching.]

Little seed, will you sprout?

Yes, I will!

[Jump up.]

I'm a Little Flower Pot

(Tune: "I'm a Little Teapot")

I'm a little flower pot mom put out

[Point to self.]

If you take care of me, I will sprout.

[Nod head, point to self.]

When you water me, I will grow

[Make sprinkling motions with right hand.]

Into a pretty flower, don't you know!

[Raise left hand slowly up from floor, make wide circle with hands or arms.]

Five Little Flowers

Tune: Itsy, bitsy spider

Five little flowers standing in the sun                                     (Hold up 5 fingers)

See their heads nodding, bowing one by one                  (Fold fingers down one at a time)

Down, down, down comes the gentle rain                       (Flutter fingers down)

And the Five Little Flowers lift up their heads again         (Raise fingers back up straight)
