Living and Nonliving Things

Tune: Twinkle ,Twinkle Little StarOr Use as a Choral Read

Many things our Earth has got,

Some are living, some are not.

Rocks and bushes,

roads and trees,

Children, elephants, and bees.

What’s the difference, how to spot,

Something living and something not?

Fish are living, you are too.

Look at all the things you do.

You get hungry, then you eat.

You get tired, go to sleep.

Cats and dogs and birds that sing.

All of these are living things.

Rocks aren’t living, they don’t grow

They don’t notice when it snows

Rocks don’t ever need to drink

They can’t eat, and they can’t think

Glass and water, golden rings.

These are all nonliving things
