If you're a ghost and you know it

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

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!

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.

Once there was a Pumpkin (from Kid and Kaboodle)
Once there was a pumpkin,
And it grew, (join fingers to make pumpkin)
And grew, (make bigger pumpkin shape)
And grew. (make large pumpkin with arms)
Now it's a Jack-O-Lantern and it smiles at you,
And you, and you!
I'm a little pumpkin (from Step by Step Childcare)
I'm a little pumpkin orange and round, (hold arms in a circle)
Here is my stem, (place fist on head)
There is the ground.
When I get all cut up, don't you shout!
Just open me up and scoop me out!
Pumpkin on the ground (from Sunflower Storytime)
Pumpkin, pumpkin, on the ground (crouch down)
How'd you get so big and round? (stretch arms and make a circle)
Once you were a seed so small.
Now you are a great big ball! (make huge circle with arms)
Pumpkins pumpkins on the ground. (crouch down)
How'd you get so big and round?
Pumpkins, pumpkins (from Read Sing Play)
Pumpkins, pumpkins turn around
Pumpkins, pumpkins touch the ground.
Pumpkins, pumpkins slap your knees.
Pumpkins, pumpkins sit down please.
Five Little Pumpkins (from Step by Step Childcare)
Five Little Pumpkins at my door.
A neighbor took one and then there were four.
Four little pumpkins under a tree,
Along came a farmer and then there were three.
Three little pumpkins that looked so new.
I gave one away and then there were two.
Two little pumpkins out in the sun,
Mom made a pie and then there was one.
Of all the pumpkins there was just one,
So I made a Jack O Lantern, and that was fun!
Craft: Decorated pumpkin templates with torn paper
Literacy tip of the week: When picking books to read together let you child explore their own interests. They will stay more engaged with a book if it is about a topic that interests them!
