Way Up High in the Apple Tree

Way Up High In The Apple Tree

This fingerplay has been around for quite some time. This is a great fingerplay to use when talking about apples, the number five, or as a way to practice counting from one to five.

Way up high in the apple tree,

Five red apples smiled at me.

I shook that tree as hard as I could.

Down came an apple,

Mmm, it was good.

(Remove one apple)



Way up high in the apple tree,
Four red apples smiled at me.
I shook that tree as hard as I could.
Down came an apple,
Mmm, it was good.

(Remove another apple then repeat for three, two, then...)

Way up high in the apple tree,
One red apple smiled at me.
I shook that tree as hard as I could.
Down came the apple,
Mmm, it was good.

(Remove the last apple)
