Oh What Do You Do in the Summertime?

Do you remember this song?

My kids have worked so hard for the program, that they deserve a break. I've decided to play with this song a bit. I'm going to change it to "Oh what do you do in the Autumn time?" and have the children help me make up new lyrics.

I've made a bunch of colored leaves to hang around the room. I'll also draw a leafless tree on the chalk board. For Junior Primary the children will take turns picking a colored leaf, reading the lyric suggestion on it, and posting it on the tree. Then we'll sing the verse with the new lyrics.
I made three leaves of five different colors: green, yellow, orange, red, and brown. On each red leaf I'll write lyric suggestions for verse 1. For example one leaf will read "dress like a queen", the next "for halloween", and the third "go trick or treating all night." So the verse will go:

Oh what do you do in the autumn time, when all the world is red?
Do you dress like a queen for Halloween, and go trick or treating all night?
Is that what you do? So do I.

Each color is a different verse, so we'll end up with five verses.

Here are some other verse suggestions:

Oh what do you do in the autumn time when all the world is yellow?
Do you collect colored leaves, and look at the trees, and eat lots of apple pie?
Is that what you do? So do I.

Oh what do you do in the autumn time when all the world is green?
Do you help your mom cook, and read lots of books, and go to bed on time?
Is that what you do? So do I.

etc.

In Senior Primary I'll teach the children the rhyming pattern of the song and let them write their own lyrics.

Hopefully that makes sense, and hopefully it will be fun. Making the leaves took me just a few minutes, as I already had colored paper on hand, and I just roughly cut them out with scissors. It was quick prep, it's easy, and I think the kids will like it.
