Songs for Halloween week!

Hello GE families,

I have had so much fun singing and dancing with your kiddos these past few weeks!  Every week, I use music and movement to reinforce the themes and concepts the children are learning in their classrooms.  This week I have lots of fun songs and games planned for Halloween!  

Ms. Kimberly

Our songs this week:  

“Triangle Song” (Tune: Jingle Bells)
Triangles, triangles,
Have three sides.
Triangles, triangles,
Have three sides.
You can draw triangles
In the air,
It is fun to use your hands
And make them anywhere.

  “Pumpkins are Here” (Tune: The Farmer in the Dell)

The pumpkins are here, the pumpkins are there. The pumpkins, the pumpkins are everywhere.

The pumpkins are up; the pumpkins are down. The pumpkins, the pumpkins are all around.

The pumpkins are in; the pumpkins are out. The pumpkins, the pumpkins are all about.

The pumpkins are low; the pumpkins are high. The pumpkins, the pumpkins all say, "Good-bye".

      “Did You Ever See a Pumpkin?” (Tune: Did You Ever See a Lassie?)

Did you ever see a pumpkin a pumpkin a pumpkin? 


Did you ever see pumpkin with no face at all? 


With no eyes and no nose and no mouth and no teeth? 


Did you ever see a pumpkin with no face at all? 


So I made a Jack-O-Lantern,

Jack-O-Lantern, Jack-O-Lantern. 


So I made a Jack-O-Lantern with a big funny face. 


With big eyes and a big nose and a big mouth and big teeth. 
So I made a Jack-O-Lantern with a big funny face.

      “Pumpkin, Pumpkin On the Ground” (Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star)

Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground.


How’d you get so big and round?


Planted as a seed so small.


Now you are a great big ball.


Pumpkin, pumpkin on the ground.


How’d you get so big and round?

      “H Word Song” (Tune: Baa Baa Black Sheep)

A Valentine shape

What have I found? (Heart)

It sprays water

What have I found? (Hose)

It has five fingers

What have I found? (Hand)

It’s a shape with six sides

What have I found? (Hexagon)

It grows on your head

What have I found? (Hair)

A day for trick or treating

What have I found? (Halloween)

      “I am a Trick or Treater” (Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle)



            I am a trick or treater,                                                                
         Set to go.
                                                                             
         Here is my flashlight,                                                              
         I'll walk slow.

         And never run across the street!                                                
         I am a trick or treater,                                                               
         Set to go.

         I'll walk slow

Here are the songs that the kids will be singing this week:

·       “Gray Squirrel”

Gray squirrel, gray squirrel

Shake your bushy tail.

Gray squirrel, gray squirrel

Shake your bushy tail.

Wrinkle up your little nose,

Put a nut between your toes.

Gray squirrel, gray squirrel

Shake your bushy tail.

·       “Squirrel Song” (Tune: She’ll be coming around the mountain)

I’ll be gathering all the acorns til they’re gone

I’ll be gathering all the acorns til they’re gone

I’ll be gathering all the acorns,

I’ll be gathering all the acorns,

I’ll be gathering all the acorns til they’re gone.

I will put them all inside my little home…

I will eat the nuts until the winter’s gone…

I will do it all again come next fall…

·       “I’m a Nut”

I’m a little acorn brown,

Lying on the cold cold ground

Someone came and stepped on me,

Now I’m cracked as you can see

I’m a nut

In a rut

I’m crazy!

·       “Scarecrow Song” (Tune: Teddy Bear)

Scarecrow, scarecrow turn around

Scarecrow, scarecrow jump up and down

Scarecrow, scarecrow arms up high

Scarecrow, scarecrow wink one eye

Scarecrow, scarecrow bend your knee

Scarecrow, scarecrow flap in the breeze

Scarecrow, scarecrow climb into bed

Scarecrow, scarecrow rest your head

·       “The Leaves” (Tune:  Wheels on the bus)

The leaves on the trees turn orange and red,

Orange and red,

Orange and red.

The leaves on the trees turn orange and red,

All through the town.

The leaves on the trees coming tumbling down…

The leaves on the trees go swish, swish, swish…

Your feet on the leaves go crunch, crunch, crunch…

·       “Fall Leaves” (Tune: London Bridges)

All the leaves are falling down,

Falling down, falling down

All the leaves are falling down,

It is Autumn.

As they fall they twirl around…

Lots of colors touch the ground…

·       “O-r-a-n-g-e”  (Tune: Ten Little Indians)

O-r-a-n-g-e,

Jack-o-lanterns are always orange.


Carrots are always orange.


Oranges are always orange.


O-r-a-n-g-e

·        “G-R-A-Y” (Tune: Farmer in the Dell)

G-R-A-Y spells gray

G-R-A-Y spells gray

Elephants are gray,

So is a rainy day,

There you go, now you know,

G-R-A-Y spells gray.

Have you ever seen a circle, a circle, a circle?
Have you ever seen a circle, which goes round and round?
It rolls this way and that way, and that way and this way.
Have you ever seen a circle, which goes round and round?

·       “Ring Around the Pumpkin” (Tune: Ring Around the Rosie)

Ring around the Pumpkin,
Pocket full of nuts,
Leaves, leaves,
They all fall down.

March around the pumpkin,
pocket full of nuts,
leaves, leaves,
they all fall down.

Stomp around the pumpkin,
pocket full of nuts,
leaves, leaves,
they all fall down.

Tip-toe around the pumpkin,
pocket full of nuts,
leaves, leaves,
they all fall down.

Jump around the pumpkin,
pocket full of nuts,
leaves, leaves,
they all fall down.
