Inside: Looking for fall circle time songs? Add these to your toddler or preschool planner!
Thank goodness for music!
Seriously, music can be such an important part of our classroom, as I shared in a recent music and movement video. In that video I shared my beloved music binder that is jam packed with pages of lyrics I have collected the past 20 years.
I have this binder divided by seasons and holidays, making it easier to find them while planning our circle time activities.
And while music is wonderful during circle time, I make sure it’s included in other parts of our day as well.
Today’s collection is jam packed with songs and fingerplays that would be perfect to add to the fall section of your music binder!
I’ve also included free printable props that you can make for your students to hold while singing.

Circle Time Songs for Fall
Table of Contents
While searching for songs to add to my music binder, I try to find those that include printable lyrics in a pdf format. Being able to hit the download button and then print the lyrics makes life so much easier. Some, however, are not that easy to print, but I still wanted to include them in this collection in case you’d like to pin and save them.
Fall Playlists
I love using Spotify playlists for our classroom! It makes it so much easier because the app is on my phone and I can easily find what I want by month, season, or theme.
