When the weather starts getting a little cooler I begin to think….. Fall!  Here’s one of my go-to letter based song play activities.

What you’ll need:
Pictures of the letters A, P, P, L, E. (if you want to get a little creative you can print your letters on 5″x 7″ cards with one letter on one side and a picture of an apple with one bite taken out of it on the other side.)

***To the tune of BINGO***

“A-P-P-L-E”
I know a fruit, it is sweet,
And apple is it’s name-o!
A P P L E!
A P P L E!
A P P L E!
and apple is it’s name-o!

Before singing it for the second time flip any of the five letters over (making it hidden).  If you have an apple with a bite out of it on the other side the kiddos can say “CRUNCH” or make a crunch sound. Or simply add a body rhythm (i.e. clapping, stomping, patting knees) instead of saying the letter name.

2nd time singing example with one of the letter “P’s” flipped over!

I know a fruit, it is sweet,
And apple is it’s name-o!
A  P  CRUNCH  L  E!
A  P  CRUNCH  L  E!
A  P  CRUNCH  L  E!

and apple is it’s name-o!
