Activity:
“Five Little Pumpkins”
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate
The first one said, “My, it’s getting late.”
The second one said, “There are witches in the air.”
The third one said, “I don’t care!”
The fourth one said, “Let’s run and run and run.”
The fifth one said, “It’s all Halloween fun!”
Then oooooh went the wind, and out went the lights!
And the five little pumpkins rolled clear out of sight.

Activity: The Witch Has an Itch (tune: Farmer in the
Dell)
The witch has an itch, The witch has an
itch.
Where, oh where, oh where does the
witch have an itch?
On her tiny little ____, her tiny
little ____,
The witch has an itch on her tiny little _____.
The witch has an itch on her tiny little _____.

Activity: Ghost Hunt (Adapted from the traditional ‘Going on
a Bear Hunt’)
We’re going on a ghost hunt
We’re going to catch a spooky one! (wiggle fingers by face)
With a wiggly body.
and a big round mouth.
Look over there!
It’s a river…
(Hop across the river, Sludge through the muddy field, sneak past
the haunted house,
duck under the branchy forest, and then we find a ghost in the
graveyard!) Back Track once you’ve seen the ghost and get home to your warm
bed!

“Five Little
Ghosties”
“Five Little Ghosties!”
Five little ghosties shining clean and white,
Waiting for their mother to bring dinner for the night.
One little ghost said ‘I’m too hungry to wait!’
Grabbed up some ____ and that is what it ate.
It swallowed it all down into its hungry tum.
Do you know what color did that ghost did become?
Count down remaining ghosts end with…
One mother ghostie, shining clean
and white,
Brought home to her little ones
dinner for the night.
When she saw the colors her ghosts
had become,
She knew just what do to, and put
into their tums,
A tall glass of milk, and a
marshmallow or three.
Then her little ghosties were as
white as white could be!
(I got this off of Scott's blog http://slcbookboy.wordpress.com/ it was awesome!)
