I used a variety of movements for the fall songs. We mimicked each action. I usually add movements to songs and fingerplays, since it engages the group and keeps their attention.

I created a flannel board to accompany the song.

We only counted to three.

At the end the kids were invited to dance! I played the song Celebrate from the CD Kids Dance Party by The Party Cats.
