If you're a ghost and you know it
If you're a ghost and you know it, just say "Boo"! (shout BOO!)
If you're a ghost and you know it, just say "Boo"!
If you're a ghost and you know and you really want to show it,
If you're a ghost and you know it, just say "Boo"!

If you're a bat and you know it, flap your wings! (flap your arms like wings)
If you're a bat and you know it, flap your wings!
If you're a bat and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you're a bat and you know it, flap your wings!

If you're a werewolf and you know it, give a howl! (howl)
If you're a werewolf and you know it, give a howl!
If you're a werewolf and you know it and you really want to show it,
If you're a werewolf and you know it give a howl!

Monster Pokey (to the tune of the Hokey Pokey, from Storytime with Miss Mollie)
You put your claws in, you take your claws out.
You put your claws in and you shake them all about.
You do the wild rumpus and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
Additional verses: big feet, horns, tail, hairy self.

There's a Spider on the Floor (from Mel's Desk)
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 tummy, and he feels kind of funny...
There's a spider on my head, my face is really red...
But he jumps off!

The Monster Boogie (by Laurie Berkner, on her CD "Buzz, Buzz")

We will Stomp by Mr. Eric and Mr Michael

Little Ghost (from Perry Public Library)
Little ghost, little ghost, flying through the air. (move hands through air)
Little ghost, little ghost, tickling my hair. (tickle head)
Little ghost, little ghost, flying way down low. (bow down)
Little ghost, little ghost, tickling my toe. (touch toes)
Little ghost, little ghost circling all around. (spin in circle)
Little ghost, little ghost, please sit down. (sit down)

Boiling Hot (done with parachute, from Step by Step Childcare)
Boiling hot, boiling hot,
What will we put in the witch's pot?
Boiling hot, boiling hot,
We'll put some (insert animal or object) in the witch's pot!

Craft:
We colored pictures and pasted them on paper "Trick Or Treat" Bags.

Literacy tip of the week: Stories that can be sung, such as "If You're A Monster and You Know It" are a great way to incorporate singing into reading time. Singing helps slow down parts of language so your child can begin to recognize the parts that make up words.
