Apple Tree

A beat keeping song that, when transformed into a game, becomes an exciting elimination activity!

One song, many ways:

• Preschool and beyond: Print out 4x apple pictures and place them in a line on the floor or stuck onto a wall or board. Use a mallet to tap the beat across the four apples as the song is sung (you will repeat this pattern four times to complete the song). Invite individual children to try and tap out the beat independently.

Lyrics

Apple Tree, Apple Tree

Will your apple fall on me?

I won’t cry, I won’t shout,

‘Til your apple knocks me out!
