HALLOWEEN IS COMING!


Halloween Medley
(Tune:  “I’m a Little Teapot” – Happy Everything CD)
Halloween is coming when we’ll be
Dressed in funny clothes and then we’ll see
Pumpkins in the window shining bright.   (Put hands over head like a pumpkin.)
Oh, we’ll have a good time                     (Clap hands.)
On Halloween night!
We’ll put on our costumes, walk down the street,   (Walk in place.)
Hold out our bags and say, “Trick or Treat!”         (Pretend to hold out a bag.)
Then we’ll say “thanks” and run away.                   (Run in place.)
We can hardly way for Halloween Day.                  (Clap hands.)

Goodie Bags
Decorate paper grocery sacks for “trick or treating.”
Candy Wrapper Math
Have children bring in their candy wrappers after Halloween to use for math activities.  You can sort them, regroup them, count them, graph your favorite kind, make sets, etc.

Paper Plate Mask
Cut eyes out of paper plates, then let children decorate them with paper scraps, markers, yarn, etc.  Tape a jumbo craft stick to the back so children can hold up to their face.
