Climbing Up or Down the Tree Worksheet
Start
We all have a tree
That's our house
We sleep soft on a bed of leaves
The bird songs wakes us
We open our eyes very slowly
We rub our eyes
We stretch out as far as we can
We wash our faces
We wash our bodies
We put on lotion
We put on our clothes
We brush our teeth until they are shining
We start climbing down the tree
On the ground we shake our legs
We look around and see that we are not alone
We are with our group of friends
We say hallo to each other
We are ready to have fun
End
Well it is time to say goodbye to all our friends
and to go back home
We wave everybody goodbye
And climb in our tree, higher and higher
We get ready to sleep
We are safe in our tree house
It is all quiet, everybody sleeps
You may close your eyes and have happy dreams.
