Cut a large circle out of green felt, a slightly smaller circle out of white felt, a still smaller
 circle out of red felt and several seed shapes out of black felt. Place the felt shapes in front
 of a flannel board. As you read the poem below, put the appropriate shapes on the flannel board.

Great big green ball
Sitting in the sun.
Inside, a white ball
Just for fun.

Next comes a red ball
Just for me,
Filled with black spots.
What can it be?

Black spots, black spots,
Spit 'em at the sun.
Spitting black spots
Is lots of fun.

Red ball, red ball,
Juicy and sweet.
Watch out now
While I eat and eat.

White ball, white ball.
Green ball, too.
I throw them away
When I'm through.

Can you guess
What I'm tellin'?
My great big ball
Is a watermelon!

The Watermelon Story

A farmer plants a seed one day
And waits for it to grow.
Rain and sun and sandy soil
Are sure to help you know
A sprout pops up form underground,
Green as green can be.
It grows and grows so very long,
It's now a vine, you see.
A flower grows upon the vine,
Big and bright and new.
And right behind each lovely flower
Grows a watermelon, too!
The melons grow and grow and grow
Until they're big and grand.
They sit upon the farmer's field
The best in all the land.
