* HALLOWEEN SONGS The Pumpkin On The Vine (tune: Farmer in the Dell) The pumpkin on the vine, The pumpkin on the vine, I picked the one that weighed a ton, And that't the one that's mine. I made two funny eyes, A mouth that's oversize The other gook my mother took, For baking pumpkin pies. The pumpkin on the vine, The pumpkin on the vine, I picked the one that weighed a ton, And that's the one that's mine. As The Witches Go Flying Along (tune: As the Caissons Go Marching Along) Way up high, in the sky, you can see them going by, As the witches go flying along. Here and there, in the air, you can see them everywhere, As the witches go flying along. With a zoom, zoom, zoom, everyone is on their broom, Singing a Halloween song. In the bright moonlight, it's really quite a sight, As the witches go flying along. * HALLOWEEN Halloween has come today all the little pumpkins say we will laugh and dance and play Halloween's the pumpkin's day. THE SMALLEST WITCH The smallest witch you ever did see just peeked through the window and looked at me I waved once or twice but very soon, she jumped three times and flew to the moon GHOST OF JOHN Have you seen the ghost of John? Long white bones with the rest all gone ooooohhhhh......ooooohhhhhhh.... wouldn't it be chilly with no skin on????

Knock, knock Truck or treat Let's see who's at the door! IDEA: You could do this as a Halloween game. A few children could leave the room, and , one at a time, knock on the door and come back in. They could be hidden with a sheet and respond: "It is I at your door!" The children could then guess the Friendly Ghost by his/her voice. * Here is an easy way to make necklaces that look like a pumpkin: Take an acorn and paint it orange. You may paint a face on it also. Take a straight pin (the kind that has a little ball on the top) and stick it into the top of the acorn. Use a dab of hot glue to hold into place. Tie a string around the pin head and you have a necklace! * Fall/Halloween poems & chants A Little Witch A little witch in a pointed cap On my door when rap, rap, rap. When I went to open it, She was not there. She was riding on her broomstick High up in the air! Halloween is Here (tune: Farmer in the Dell) Oh, Halloween is here! Oh, Halloween is here! With costumes on we'll walk around We'll knock on doors all over town, When Halloween is here! Hello Halloween! Hello witches, hello ghosts, Hello pumpkins on the posts. Hello goblins and black cats, Hello skeletons, hello bats! Hello owls and hello moon! Halloween is coming soon!!
