Seven little, eight little, nine little witches…
Ten little witches say “He! He! He!”


One little, two little, three little ghosts…
Four little, five little, six little ghosts …

5 Little Pumpkins Fingerplay
A great fingerplay to practice fine motor skills and counting

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate. (hold up five fingers)
The first one said, “Oh my! It’s getting late. (Hold up one finger)
The second one said, “There are witches in the air.” (Hold up two fingers)
The third one said, “But we don’t care!” (Three fingers)
The fourth one said, “Let’s run and run and run.” (Four fingers)
The fifth one said, “I’m ready for some fun!” (Five fingers)
O-ooo-oo said the wind, (Wave hands)
And out went the lights. (Big clap)
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight. (Put your hands in a fist and roll them around each other)

Pumpkin, Pumpkin Song
A fun songs to sing at the pumpkin patch. Sing it to the tune of "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?
