Halloween Fun For Kids

[BiggerPiggyBank]

I have a preschooler at home who comes home from preschool every day
with a new song. She sings all the time. Her school does not
participate in holiday celebrations, however, because she has a very
wide array of culters in her class.

I remember some songs from when I was a kid, but not well enough to
teach Gillian any of them, so I set off to search some songs up.

Or, rather, it started off as songs. I also ended up with a list of
10 coloring pages for my husband to print out at work (no printer
here), and some other activities, recipes, and other fun stuff.

I thought I’d share my stuff here for everyone to enjoy!

Songs

The Haunted House” (Tune of “Wheels on the Bus”)

The ghost in the house goes “Boo! Boo! Boo!” “Boo! Boo! Boo!, Boo!
Boo! Boo!” The ghost in the house goes “Boo! Boo! Boo!” On Halloween.

The steps in the house goes “Creek, creek, creek…” The cats in the
house go “Meow, meow, meow…” The mice in the house go “Squeak,
squeak, squeak..” The people in the house go “Eek, eek, eek…”.

Pumpkin, Pumpkin

Pumpkin, pumpkin Sitting on a wall (have children sit down) Pumpkin,
pumpkin Tip and fall (have children tip over) Pumpkin, pumpkin
Rolling down the street (child rolls on floor) Pumpkin, pumpkin
Trick or treat!!!!

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins (hold up fingers for pumpkins) Sitting on a
gate The first once said “Oh my! It’s getting late” The second one
said, “There are witches in the air” The third once said ” But we
don’t care” The fourth once said “It’s Halloween fun” Ooooooh went
the wind And out when the lights (clap hands to the word “out”) And
the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight (roll arms).

Halloween Night…
(Frere Jacques)
Jack-o-lanterns, jack-o-lanterns,
Hall-o-ween, Hall-o-ween!
See the owls gliding,
Coal black cats are hiding,
Ghosts go “Boo,” ghosts go “Boo!”

Haunted House…
(Pop Goes The Weasle)
All around the haunted house,
The bat chased the goblin.
The ghost floated overhead.
Scat! went the black cat.

black and green felt. You can even make the pompoms out of orange
