Short Spring Poems
Spring Is Here
This simple poem is perfect as a Spring song for kids. Sung to the tune of “Frere Jacques”, Spring is Here is great for choral reading, is simple and short, and can easily incorporate movement for retelling.
Research proves “…movement increases blood and oxygen flow, which positively affects cognitive development, physical health, and mental well-being.” (Education Week, 2017)
Spring is here. Spring is here.
Hear the birds. Hear the birds.
They are busy finding. They are busy finding.
Big fat worms. Big fat worms.
After having a student-led discussion about the signs of Spring, introduce this Springtime poem.
Springtime
I see rain clouds. I see birds’ nests,
Butterflies, too! Flowers, too!
Everything is growing. The wind is gently blowing.
Spring is here! Spring is here!
After a long Winter, I love the signs of Spring. To me, it’s one more reminder that Summer is just around the corner. What teacher doesn’t love Summer?
These types of poems about green grass, blooming flowers, birds singing, bees buzzing, and kites flying in the blue skies, are all sure signs of Spring.
This Spring poem for kids is a reminder that springtime is here!
Spring
Spring, Spring,
Springtime is here!
Grass is green, and flowers grow.
Birds are singing. Bees are buzzing!
Kites are flying everywhere.
Spring, Spring, Springtime is here!
Spring Day
(By Little Learning Corner)
Let’s go out and play
on this early spring day.
We can jump in puddles
and get muddy.
Or, plant seeds with our favorite buddy.
Ten Little Robins
(By Little Learning Corner)
One little, two little,
three little robins.
Four little, five little,
six little robins.
Seven little, eight little,
nine little robins.
Ten little robins in a nest.
Spring Song
Frogs croak, Rains soak
Chicks peep, Crickets leap
Bees hum, Robins come
Birds sing, It’s spring!

Short Poems about Flowers
Five Little Flowers
Five little flowers growing in a row.
The first one said, “I’m purple, you know.”
The second one said: “I’m pink as pink can be.”
The third one said, “I’m blue like the sea.”
The fourth one said, “I’m a very red fellow.”
The fifth one said, “My color is yellow.”
Then out came the sun, big and bright.
And five little flowers smiled in delight.
Ten Little Flowers
One little, two little,
three little flowers.
Four little, five little,
six little flowers.
Seven little, eight little,
nine little flowers.
Ten little flowers blooming in the sun!
A Little Seed
A little seed for me to sow.
A little seed to make it grow.
A little hole, a little pat,
A little wish, and that’s that.
A little sun, a little shower.
A little while,
And then, a flower!
Frog Poems for Kids
When kids talk about Spring, they often talk about frogs jumping in the ponds.
Here is a collection of short frog poems for kids.
A Small Green Frog
A small green frog on a big brown log;
A black and yellow bee in a little green tree;
A red and yellow snake by a blue-green lake,
All sat and listened to red bird sing,
“Wake up, everybody, it’s spring! It’s spring!”

Five Speckled Frogs
Five little speckled frogs
Sat on a speckled log
Eating the most delicious bugs
(yum, yum)
One jumped into the pool
Where it was nice and cool
Then there were four green
speckled frogs.
(glub, glub)
Ten Little Frogs
One little, two little,
three little green frogs.
Four little, five little,
six little green frogs.
Seven little, eight little,
nine little green frogs.
Ten little green frogs in the pond.
Earth Poems for Young Children
Earth Day is in April. Since Spring is all about new growth, this is the perfect timing to teach the kids about taking care of our Earth.
This Old Earth
This old Earth
needs our help,
to stay fresh and clean and green.
With a pick it up, pitch it in,
and throw it in the can –
This old Earth will be clean again.
Recycle
We recycle what we use,
separate things,
and you should, too!
Glass and paper, plastic and tin,
all go in your recycling bin.
We must start now.
We can’t wait.
Quick, or it will be too late!
More Spring Themed Poems
Goodbye Winter
(By Becky Spence)
Good-bye, Winter!
Spring is in the air.
Flowers are in the bloom.
You see colors everywhere.
Birds build their nest.
In branches way up high.
But out my window, that loud bird.
Woke me up again … sigh!
March Wind
The wind is pushing
Against the trees,
He’ll take off your hat
Without asking you “please,”
He rattles the windows
And puffs at a cloud,
Then scoots down the chimney
And laughs aloud.
Spring
(-Author Unknown)
The wind told the grass,
and the grass told the trees.
The trees told the bushes,
and the bushes told the bees.
The bees told the rain,
and the robin sang out clear –
Wake up! Wake up!
Spring is here!
My Spring Garden
Here is my little garden,
Some seeds I’m going to sow.
Here is my rake to rake the ground,
Here is my handy hoe.
Here is the, big round yellow sun;
The sun warms everything.
Here are the rain clouds in the sky;
The birds will start to sing.
Little plants will wake up soon,
And lift their sleepy heads;
Little plants will grow and grow
In their little warm earth beds.
Young Lambs
(By John Clare)
The spring is coming by a many signs;
The trays are up, the hedges broken down.
That fenced the haystack, and the remnant shines
Like some old antique fragment weathered brown.
And where suns peep, in every sheltered place,
The little early buttercups unfold
A glittering star or two—till many trace
The edges of the blackthorn clumps in gold.
And then a little lamb bolts up behind
The hill, and wags his tail to meet the yoe,
And then another, sheltered from the wind,
Lies all his length as dead – and lets me go
Close bye and never stirs but basking lies,
With legs stretched out as though he could not rise.
