We’re going into winter halfway through our second cycle of our Waldorf in the Woods playgroup – so I’m trying to make the transition with apple “stars.” (Winter will have more star songs…)<\/p>\n
Some of the songs are repeated (and will always be repeated) from cycle 1. I will add video clips as I create them. Note: I don’t have a piano or keyboard at home so some of the videos are random views at Target or Costco while I plunk out the melody.<\/p>\n
Follow, follow me<\/p>\n
To the ring of the fairies<\/p>\n
Follow, follow\u00c2\u00a0 me,<\/p>\n
Where the fairies dance and sing.<\/p>\n
Gather with now<\/p>\n
All the magic you can carry,<\/p>\n
As we circle \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcround the dancing fairy ring.<\/p>\n

Now look around<\/p>\n
We\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve made a ring<\/p>\n
By holding hands you see.<\/p>\n
Yes, here I am,<\/p>\n
And there you are,<\/p>\n
Together we are we.<\/p>\n

Lanterne, Lanterne, Sonne, Monde und Sterne,<\/p>\n
Brenne auf mein Licht<\/p>\n
Brenne auf mein Licht<\/p>\n
Aber nur meine liebe Lanterne nicht.<\/p>\n

This is my trunk, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a tall tall tree<\/p>\n
In the winter, the snowflakes fall on me.<\/p>\n
They glisten. They glisten.<\/p>\n
This is my trunk, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a tall tall tree<\/p>\n
In the spring, the blossoms bloom on me.<\/p>\n
They bloom. They bloom.<\/p>\n
This is my trunk, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a tall tall tree<\/p>\n
In the summer, the breezes blow through me.<\/p>\n
I bend. I bend.<\/p>\n
This is my trunk, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m a tall tall tree<\/p>\n
In the autumn, the apples drop from me.<\/p>\n
They drop. They drop.<\/p>\n

Down with darkness, up with light<\/p>\n
Up with sunshine down with night<\/p>\n
Each of us is one small light<\/p>\n
But together we shine bright<\/p>\n
Go away darkest, blackest night<\/p>\n
Go away, give way to light!<\/p>\n
[youtube=http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DClTgGvTLT8]<\/p>\n
The leaves are floating gently down, (Wave silks up and down)<\/p>\n
They make a soft bed on the ground<\/p>\n
Then WHOOOO!<\/p>\n
The wind comes whistling by, (Waves arms wildly)<\/p>\n
And sends them dancing back to the sky (Flutter silks up)<\/p>\n
On my head my hands I place,<\/p>\n
On my shoulders, on my face.<\/p>\n
On my lips and by my side,<\/p>\n
Quickly behind me they will hide.<\/p>\n
I can hold them way up high<\/p>\n
And let my fingers gently fly<\/p>\n
I can hold my hands in front of me<\/p>\n
And clap 1-2-3.<\/p>\n
The leaves are green<\/p>\n
The apples are red<\/p>\n
They hang so high above your head<\/p>\n
Leave them alone \u00e2\u20ac\u02dctil frosty weather<\/p>\n
Then they will all fall down together<\/p>\n

Apple Secrets<\/p>\n
Who would think an apple<\/p>\n
Red, gold, or green and round<\/p>\n
Would have a secret deep inside<\/p>\n
When cut it can be found!<\/p>\n
I thought this secret only shone<\/p>\n
In deep and darkest night<\/p>\n
But when I cut my apple<\/p>\n
It shines with five points bright!<\/p>\n
And now you know the secret<\/p>\n
Where shining stars are found<\/p>\n
In every crunchy apple<\/p>\n
Red, gold, or green and round<\/p>\n
(Cut open apple perpendicular to stem to find the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153star,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d then quarter and give pieces to the children to enjoy.)<\/em><\/p>\n Dot, dot, dot<\/p>\n And a big question mark.<\/p>\n Little spiders crawl up your back<\/p>\n Little spiders crawl down your back<\/p>\n Little spiders crawl up your arms<\/p>\n Little spiders crawl down your arms<\/p>\n Cool breeze, tight squeeze.<\/p>\n Egg on the head and the yolk drips down.<\/p>\n Creepy crawlies, creepy crawlies\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n Gotcha.<\/p>\n The Story Song<\/p>\n Anything can happen<\/p>\n In a fairy tale or rhyme<\/p>\n When you say the magic words<\/p>\n Once a upon a time<\/p>\n OR I like this one from raw mom\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s blog<\/a>:<\/p>\n BE QUIET YOUR FACES, BE STILL EVERYONE<\/p>\n FIX DEEPLY ON ME YOUR EYES<\/p>\n AND OUT OF MY MIND A STORY WILL COME<\/p>\n THAT IS OLD, AND LOVELY AND WISE<\/p>\n Handwashing Song (sung in the mood of the 5th)<\/p>\n Time to wash our hands,<\/p>\n Time to wash our hands<\/p>\n Welcome, welcome<\/p>\n Welcome to our table<\/p>\n Welcome, welcome<\/p>\n We all join hands together.
