Way up high in the apple tree
(hands above head)
Two little apples smiled at me.
(form apples with each hand still raised)
I shook that tree as hard as I could,
(shaking motion)
Down came the apples.
(drop hands)
Mmmmm, were they good!
(rub stomach)

2. Apple Tree Bulletin Board or Math Center
Create a tree from brown paper and green construction paper. Cut out and number 20 apples from red construction paper. For a learning center, you way want to attach velcro on the tree and on the back of each apple. Students may attach apples in numerical order. Play a game to determine the missing number. Write a number word on the board, students must find the corresponding number. Ask students to identify and "harvest or pick" a specific number. Play a version of "I Spy" once all of the apples are on the tree.
3. Science with Apples
Conduct a science experiment with an apple. Cut the apple in half. Dip half of it in lemon juice, and leave the other half as is. Place each apple on a plate. Students may hypothesize what will happen. Half of the apple turns brown due to oxidization. The lemon juice is a citric acid that prevents oxidization, so the apple does not turn brown.
Dried Apple Snack (for after the experiment)
4. Apple Fractions
Explain the concept of one-half by dividing something between two students. This may be done by cutting an apple in half, cutting a piece of paper in half, or pouring a cup of water into two glasses. As each item is divided, ask the students which one they would want. It really wouldn't matter if they were equal. However, demonstrate again by creating unequal portions, and ask the same question.

13. Fingerplay
A little red apple
(form a circle with hands)
Hung high in a tree.
(reach up)
I looked up at it,
(look up)
And it looked down at me.
(look down)
"Come down, please," I called.
(cup hand by mouth)
And what do you suppose?
(shrug shoulders)
That little red apple
(for a circle with hands)
Dropped right on my nose!
(point to nose)
14. Brain Break - Movement Activity
Students stand in a line with their feet spread apart pretending to be apples. The student at the back of the line pretends to be a worm and wiggles through the legs. Repeat with the next student at the back. How many worms can crawl through the apples in 2 minutes? 1 min? For a more conservative game, line up student desks or chairs for the apples. Students line up as worms and wiggle under and through the desks.
