October is a fun time to learn about crows, whether you celebrate Halloween, or harvest time. There are two versions of this song for you. Two Big Crows is a finger play for younger children, and Big Black Crow is just a singing (and cawing!) song. Crows, or ravens as we know them here in the Northwest, are very interesting birds. Have fun exploring the website links here, and talking with children about this unique bird!

Two Big Crows (finger play)

Two big crows, sittin’ in a tree (hold index fingers in front for birds)
Talkin’ to each other and talkin’ to me
(bend fingers to each other, then to yourself)
One flew away, the other did too
( hide one hand behind back, then the other)
Come back crows, I’m a ‘talkin’ to you (bring hands back out in front) Caw, caw, caw

Big Black Crow

Big black crow, sittin’ in a tree
What are you squawkin’ ‘bout, won’t you tell me
Caw, caw, caw

Every day it’s the same old song
Are you hopin’ I can sing along with you
Caw, caw, caw

Way up high in the old oak tree
Your shiny black feathers are clear to see
You’re bigger and louder than all the rest
You must think you’re the very best

Big black crow, you’re a noisy bird
You sing the loudest song that I ever heard
Caw, caw, caw
