'Five Little Pumpkins' (fingerplay)
 Five little pumpkins Sitting on a gate
The first one said, "Oh, my, it's half past eight!"
The second one said, "There are witches in the air!"
The third one said, "Good folk, beware!"
The fourth one said, "We'll run and run and run!"
The fifth one said, "Let's have some fun!"
OOOOOOOH, went the wind And OUT went the light
And the five little pumpkins Rolled out of sight


 Flutter, Flutter Little Bat (Twinkle, Twinkle)

  by Leanne Guenther

Flutter, flutter little bat,
How I wonder where you're at.
Swooping through the darkest night -
You find your way without a light.
Flutter, flutter little bat,
How I wonder where you're at!


'Fun to Do' by Cecilia Johns and Rebecca Stevens from the LDS Children's Songbook 1 2

'Ghosts and Goblins'

Ghosts and goblins,
Ghosts and goblins,
Witches too,
Witches too,
All out trick-or-treating,
All out trick-or-treating,
Can’t scare you!

In the grave yard,
In the grave yard,
When the moon begins to shine,
There's a doctor, crazy doctor,
and his monster Frankenstein.

Oh, my monster,
oh, my monster,
oh, my monster Frankenstein,
you are very, very scary, don't come
near me Frankenstein.

Pumpkin pumpkin on the ground
How'd you get so big and round
Planted as a seed so small
Now you are a great big ball
Pumpkin pumpkin on the ground
How'd you get so big and round

One little, two little, three little skeletons,
Four little, five little, six little skeletons,
Seven little, eight little, nine little skeletons,
Ten little skeletons rattling bones!


'Wake Up' by Verve Pipe 1 

'We're Going on a Bear Hunt' by  Michael Rosen 1 2
We're going on a bear hunt.
We're going to catch a big one.
What a beautiful day!
We're not scared.

Oh-oh! Grass!
Long, wavy grass.
We can't go over it.
We can't go under it.

Oh, no!
We've got to go through it!

Swishy swashy!

A river!  A deep, cold river... Splash splosh!
Mud!  Thick, oozy mud.... Squelch squerch!
A forest!  A big, dark forest...Stumble trip!
A snowstorm!  A swirling, whirling snowstorm...  Hoooo woooo!
A cave! A narrow, gloomy cave.  Tiptoe!

What's That?
One shiny wet nose!
Two big furry ears!
Two big goggly eyes!
It's a Bear!!!

Quick! Back through the cave!  Tiptoe! Tiptoe! Tiptoe!
Back through...
Get to our front door.  Open the door.  Up the stairs.
Oh, no!  We forgot to shut the door.  Back downstairs.
Shut the door.  Back upstairs.  Into the bedroom.
Into bed.  Under the covers.  We're not going on a bear hunt again.

'Wheels on the Bus' 1 2
   The wheels on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round.
    The wheels on the bus go round and round all through the town.

    Horn... goes beep, beep, beep
    Doors... they open and shut
    Change... goes jingle, jingle, jingle
    Wipers... swish, swish, swish
    Driver... says move on back
    People... go bump, bump, bump
    Babies... waaa, waaa, waaa
    Mommas...  shhh, shhh, shhh
    Windows... go up and down



'Who’s That Knocking'

Who's that knocking on my door
I must admit I'm little scared,
I open it and what do I see,
A scary old witch and she's laughing at me
Hee hee hee

Who's that knocking at my door
I must admit I'm a little scared
I open it and what do I see
A green monster and he's growling at me.
GRRRR
(keep going till you can't think of anymore Halloween creatures.)

Now I'm walking out that door,
I'm not gonna be scared no more,
I'm in my costume and I'm ready to be
The one who's scaring you
BOO!
