Scarecrows

We're the farmer's scarecrows

    We scare away the birds,

We keep the farmer's corn safe

Without any words.

But when Halloween comes

We jump out of the ground

And we scare the boys and girls

When they come walking 'round.

The Scarecrow
Scarecrow standing in the field On a bright and sunny day, Don't forget to do your job. Scare the hungry crows away!

Title: I'm a Little Scarecrow
(I'm a Little Teapot)
I'm a little scarecrow,
Raggedy and worn.
I wear a hat,
And a shirt that's torn.
When the crows come,
I wave and shout,
"Away from my garden ----
Get on out!"

SACRECROW CHANT
Scarecrow, scarecrow,
How scary can you be?
You scared away the crows  (children have fun giving ideas)
But you can't scare me!
No, you can't scare me!

Five Stuffed Scarecrows
Five Stuffed Scarecrows in the corn rows,
The first one said, "Go away, crows!"
The second one said, "I am very small,"
The third one said, "I am standing tall."
The fourth one said, "On my head I wear a hat."
The fifth one said, By me feet runs a cat."
Five stuffed scarecrows in the corn rows,
Moving left and right as the autumn wind blows
