Little Bat (Sung to: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”)

Swooping, swooping little bat. How I wonder where you’re at. Up above the trees so high. In the dark you like to fly. Swooping, swooping little bat. How I wonder where you’re at.

A Halloween Counting Poem

1 – 2 – 3 Learn Curriculum Graphics used: graphics factory

One scary witch is coming down the street. She's tapping at doors and calling, "Trick or Treat!"

Two black cats Appear at the gate, With arched-up backs, They watch and wait.

Three jack-o-lanterns sit grinning in a row, Their candles flicker An eerie glow.

Four bats awake and begin to fly, Swishing and swooping Across the sky.

Five tree stumps in the shadows deep Crouch like monsters Ready to leap.

Six orange leaves float down through the air, They rustle and whisper, "Beware, beware!"

Seven gray clouds hide the moon from sight, They stop, they hover, They darken the night.

Eight white objects twist and twine. Are they ghosts or sheets On a line?

Nine little field mice scatter and run. Spooky nights Are not much fun.

Ten owls smile-- they know, you see. It's Halloween and the Witch is ME!!

If You're a Ghost and You Know It (Sung to: "If You're Happy and You Know It")

If you're a ghost and you know it, Then say "Boo!"

If you're a ghost and you know it, Then say "Boo!"

If you're a ghost and you know it, And you really want to show it,

If you're a ghost and you know it, Then say "Boo!"

Additional verses: If you're a cat and you know it, then say "Meow"

If you're a bat and you know it, then flap your wings

If you're a skeleton and you know it, then shake your bones

Bats Are Sleeping

(Sung to: Frere Jacques)

Bats are sleeping, bats are sleeping. Upside down – upside down. Waiting for the night to come. Waiting for the night to come.

Then they’ll fly around. Then they’ll fly around.

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate. The first one said, “Oh, my it's getting late!“

The second one said, “There are witches in the air.” The third one said, “But we don't care.”

The fourth one said, “Let's run, let's run!” The fifth one said, “Isn't Halloween fun?”

Then Woooooo went the wind And OUT went the lights.

And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

There's a Spider On the Floor There's a spider on the floor, on the floor. There's a spider on the floor, on the floor.

Who could ask for any more Than a spider on the floor?

There's a spider on the floor, on the floor.

There's a spider on my leg, on my leg. There's a spider on my leg, on my leg.

Oh it's really, really big This old spider on my leg.

There's a spider on my leg, on my leg.

Now the spider's on my stomach, on my stomach. Now the spider's on my stomach, on my stomach.

Oh he's just a dumb old lummock This old spider on my stomach.

Now the spider's on my stomach, on my stomach.

Now the spider's on my head, on my head. Now the spider's on my head, on my head.

Oh I wish that I were dead, I've got a spider on my head!

Now the spider's on my head, on my head.

And he jumps off! .... Now there's a spider on the floor, on the floor.

(repeat until you can't stand it any longer )

Jack-o-Lantern

Jack-o-lantern, jack-o-lantern, You are such a funny sight,

As you sit there in the window Looking out at the night.

Once you were a yellow pumpkin, Growing on a sturdy vine,

Now you are a jack-o-lantern, Let the candle light shine.
