Action rhyme
Way up high in the apple tree (stretch both arms above your head, hands
open)
Two little apples smiled at me (keep arms above head, close hands into
fists)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (keep arms above head, “shake” tree)
Down came the apples (bring fists down toward stomach)
Mmmm, they were good! (rub stomach)

Poem
Way up high in the apple tree. (point up)
Two little apples smiled at me. (close thumb & forefinger of each hand to
make an apple)
I shook that tree as hard as I could (grab pretend tree & shake)
Down fell the apples— (raise hands & let fall)
MMMMMM, were they good!
