Preschool
Song with Actions - Good Tree, Bad Tree - Sung to the tune
of Baby Bumblebee (I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee"
but skip the first note of every line).
|
| I'm
waiting for the good tree to grow its pears. |
Place
right elbow in left hand, spread fingers on right hand and move
in a circular motion. |
| Since
its a good tree, good fru-uit i-it bears! |
Throw
both hands out in front of you. |
| There's
isn't any bad fruit; good fruit it shares! |
Shake
head no. Throw both hands out in front of you. |
| Um-m-m!
De-li-i-cious! |
Pretend
you are biting into fruit and make crunch sound. |
|
| This
is the bad tree...There's no fruit that's good. |
Place
left elbow in right hand, spread fingers on left hand and move
in a circular motion. |
| It
would grow good fruit; if only i-it could |
Place
chin in hand and tilt head, as if sighing. |
| If
it was a good tree; then surely it would! |
Place
right elbow in left hand, spread fingers on right hand and move
in a circular motion. |
| Ew-w-w!
Throw it out! |
Make
motions of throwing it out. |
|
| I'm
so happy that God makes fruit that's good. |
Put
fist in front of you. |
| He
helps me do what I know I should. |
Point
up. |
| I'm
so-o happy; He gives me fruit that's good! |
Hold
hands out in front of you with palms up. |
| Oh!
He's so-o good! |
Point
up. |
|
| When
I have God's Spirit living in my heart |
Point
to heart. |
| He
gi-iives me a bra-and new start! |
Jump
up high. |
| He
is so good; He changes my heart. |
Point
to heart. |
| Oh.
He's so-o good! |
Jump
up and down a couple of times. |

Hold
right forearm with left hand. |
| Then
I am his, and he is surely mine. |
Point
to self then God, then to God and back to self. |
| He
will make the good fruit gro-ow in me. |

Toddler
and Preschool Activity: What Comes Out is What's On The Inside!
|
| Several
Smucker's Squeezables squeeze bottles filled with applesauce,
grape jelly, and other fruit jellies (do not use jelly with fruit
chunks). |
Prep
to do at home: Fill the squeeze bottles with different kinds
of fruit jelly or sauce. Cut the pictures to the appropriate size
to cover outside of bottles with picture of fruits. You can cut
vertical slits towards middle to fit page on bottle better. Tape
picture onto bottle to hide it. Activity: Follow the actions
listed in the Circle Time Activity. Let the kids each take a turn
at squeezing each one. Let Fruity Bear make comments about good
and bad trees (See lesson for examples). Let somebody squeeze
the yucky one last and follow the directions in the lesson for
what to say. |
| One
bottle filled with a mixture of mustard, catsup, applesauce, A1
steak sauce, BBQ sauce, or whatever else you can think of that
would look and smell bad. |
