We had such fun with our Halloween Storytime. This is what we did:
Songs, Rhymes and Fingerplays
Open Shut Them
Open shut them, Open shut them,
Give a little clap clap clap!
Open shut them, Open shut them,
Put them in your lap, lap, lap!
Creep them, crawl them,
Creep them, crawl them,
Right up to your chin, chin, chin!
Open wide your little mouth,
But do not let them in!
The Spider in the Web
(tune: Farmer in the Dell)
The spider in the web,
The spider in the web,
Spin, spin oh watch it spin,
The spider in the web
The spider gets a…
...bear, skunk, lion, monkey
Spin, spin oh watch it spin,
The spider in the web
A Haunting We Will Go
A haunting we will go,
A haunting we will go,
We’ll catch a ghost, put him on a post,
And then we’ll let him go!
…cat, hat
…witch, make her itch
… ghoul, duel
Two Little Monsters
Two little monsters, sitting on a hill
One named Jack and one named Jill
Stomp away, Jack, stomp away, Jill
Come back, Jack and come back, Jill
Two little monsters sitting on a hill
One named Jack and one named Jill
Ten Little Monsters
1 little, 2 little, 3 little monsters
4 little, 5 little, 6 little monsters
7 little, 8 little, 9 little monsters
10 little monsters can’t scare me!
Haunted House
(tune: 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 … “Creak, creak, creak…”
The cats … “Meow, meow, meow…”
The bats … “Squeak, squeak, squeak…”
Monster Stomp
If you want to be a monster, now's your chance.
'Cause everybody's doing the monster dance.
You just stamp your feet, wave your arms around
Stretch 'em up, stretch 'em up,
Then put them on the ground.
'Cause you're doing the monster stomp,
That's right! You're doing the monster stomp.
Where is Blue Bat?
Me: Where is [blue] bat? Where is [blue] bat?
You: Here I am! Here I am!
Me: How are you this morning?
You: Very well, I thank you!
All: Fly away! Fly away!
…black, red
Good-Bye Song
(Tune: London Bridge)
Bye, good-bye we’ll see you soon,
See you soon, see you soon
Bye, good-bye we’ll see you soon
On another day!
