 It's Autumn Time (See Youtube link to song)
“It’s Autumntime,” Children’s Songbook of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, 246
Brightly
1. It’s autumntime. It’s autumntime.
The leaves are falling down.
It’s autumntime. It’s autumntime.
It’s all around the town.
2. It’s autumntime. It’s autumntime.
There’s yellow, red, and brown.
It’s autumntime. It’s autumntime.
Bright colors can be found.

Kayson's "Monsters."


 It's autumn time, it's autumn time ... sway side to side above head
the leaves are falling down ... slowly lower leaf as if falling
It's autumn time, it's autumn time .... sway side to side above head
It's all around the town ... circle leaf above your head

 
It's autumn time .... sway side to side above head
yellow, red, brown ... raise leaf when color is said
It's autumn time .... sway side to side above head
colors can be found ... shake leaf above head




Five Little Pumpkins (review) 
Five Little Pumpkins
(Tune: “Five Little Ducks”)
Five little pumpkins sitting on the gate. (Hold up 5 fingers.)
The first one said, “Oh, my it’s getting late.” (Hold up thumb.)
The second one said, “There are witches in the air.” (Hold up index finger.)
The third one said, “But I don’t care.” (Hold up middle finger.)
The fourth one said, “Let’s run and run and run.” (Hold up ring finger.)
The fifth one said, “I’m ready for some fun.” (Hold up pinky.)
Ooooo! Went the wind, and out went the light. (Blow through hands, then clap.)
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight! (Roll hands behind back.)
