See my big and scary eyes,                                                

Look out now, a big surprise—                                         

BOO!                                                                                                                                                                                     A

 

Five little goblins on a Halloween night,                          

Made a very, very spooky sight.                                      

The 1st one danced on his tippy-tip-toes.                        

The next one tumbled and bumped his nose.                  

The next one jumped high up in the air. 

The next one walked like a fuzzy bear.                              

The last one sang a Halloween song.                                               

Five little goblins played the whole night long!

 

(sing to: POP! GOES THE WEASEL)                                                

Sometimes I like to walk in the dark

I like to shout and scream.                                                  

I sneak behind somebody I know,                                    

BOO! It’s Halloween.                                                                         

--Frank Dally                                                         

MORE PIGGYBACK SONGS                            

 

A little witch in a pointed hat,

On my door went rap-rap-rap, 

When I went to open it, 

She was not there, 

She was riding on a broomstick 

High up in the air.

 

On Halloween, what bothers some 

About these witches is, how come 

In sailing through the air like bats, 

They never seem to lose their hats? 

                --David McCord

 

1 Little, 2 little, 3 little witches, 

Fly over haystacks, fly over ditches, 

Slide down the moon without any hitches,

Heigh-ho Halloween’s here. 

*Stand on your head with a lop-sided wiggle, 

Tickle your black cats till they giggle, 

Swish through the air with a higgly piggle, 

Heigh-ho Halloween’s here.

 

I am the witch’s cat. 

Meow, meow. 

My fur is black as night, 

My eyes are glowing green & bright. 

I am the witch’s cat.

 

I saw a ghost,                (hands to eyes)

He saw me too.             point to self)

I waved at him.             (wave)

But he said, "BOO!"      (try to scare person next to you)     

 

5 Little ghosts dressed all in white, 

Were scaring each other on Halloween night.                

“Boo!” said the 1st one, “I’ll catch you.”                          

“Wooo,” said the 2nd, “I don’t care if you do.”               

The 3rd ghost said, “You can’t run away from me.”       

The 4th ghost said, “I’ll scare everyone I see.”               

The 5th ghost said, “It’s time to disappear, 

“But we’ll see you at Halloween time next year!”  

 

There once was a witch from North Dublin                     

Whose trouble kept doublin’ & doublin’.                       

Her best broomstick broke.                                                

Her hat turned to smoke.                                                   

 And her cauldron refused to get bubblin’                      

                --Patricia Hubbell                                                

 

A very old witch was stirring a pot,                                  

O-o-o-o, two little ghosts asked:                                       

“What has she got?”                                                          

Tippy-toe, tippy-toe, tippy-toe, BOO!

          --STORYTIME CRAFTS                                    

 

I saw a little witch by the garden gate,

And that little witch became my playmate. 

That little witch went w-o-o-w-o-o-w-o-o 

(repeat) 

I saw a little bat, flying high in the sky, 

Swooped and dipped as he flew right by. 

That little bat went eek-eek-eek-eek 

(repeat)

 I saw a black cat on the garden wall, 

And that black cat began to fall. 

That black cat went screech, screech, screech. 

(repeat) 

I saw a little ghost in a hazy mist, 

And that little ghost began to twist. 

That little ghost went BOO!

 

(sing to: OLD MACDONALD)                                         

Old Woozer witch had a haunted house,                         

E-I-E-I-O                                                                                

And in that house was a hairy beast,                               

E-I-E-I-O                                                                                

With a growl, growl here,                                                   

And a growl, growl there. 

Here a growl, there a growl. 

Everywhere a growl, growl. 

*Big, black cat—screech 

*Noisy ghost—Boo, boo. 

*Bony skeleton—clank, clank.

 

 5 Little witches on Halloween night, 

The 1st one whispered, “Time for our flight.” 

The 2nd one…, “The moon is bright as day.” 

The 3rd one…, “It’s so far away.”

The 4th one…, “It’s just across the sky.” 

The 5th one…, “Up broom and fly.” 

 

I’m a yellow pumpkin, fat and round, 

Growing in a cornfield, on the ground. 

I’ll be a jack-o-lantern, with two big eyes, 

Or maybe I’ll be baked in two fat pies. 

BOO! 

 

I'm a little pumpkin, round and stout,

Packed full of seeds that you can scoop out.

When I get all carved up then I'll be

The cutest/scariest jack o'lantern you ever did see.

 

Pumpkin, pumpkin, stem of green 

Just in time for Halloween! 

If there’s a candle in your back 

Then on the 31st, your name’ll be Jack!

 

5 Little pumpkins sitting on a gate. 

The 1st one said, “It’s getting pretty late.” 

The 2nd one said, “There are witches in the air.” 

The 3rd one said, “Ah, we don’t care.” 

The 4th one said, “Let’s run, and run, and run.” 

The 5th one said, “It’s Halloween fun!” 

Whooo went the wind, and out went the light, 

And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

 

Oh, the roly-poly pumpkin, 

Went rolling down the hill. 

Once it started rolling, 

It couldn’t keep still. 

It rolled & rolled until 

It bumped into a rock. 

Then, the roly-poly pumpkin 

Rolled to a stop!

 

Pumpkin, pumpkin, big and round,           (Make big circle with hands)
Sitting on the cold, hard ground.              (Touch the ground)
Soon I’ll pick you off the vine,                  (Pretend to pick a pumpkin)
Give you a name, and make you mine     (Hug pumpkin tightly)
Carve a face for all to see,                        (Point to face)
Add a candle for Halloween glee!           (Clap your hands)

Knock, knock, knock 

Sounds like more 

Trick'n'treaters at my door. 

I open the door, and what do I see? 

A teeny, tiny _______ smiling at me.

An ugly, old ______ 

A big, white ______

A funny, funny ______

 

This is the hand that knocks on the door…of the house that is haunted.

This is the spider that lands on the floor…after the hand…

This is the ghost that shouts out “BOO!”…after the spider…

This is the owl that chants “Who-who,”…after the ghost…

These are the bats that now take flight…after the owl…

This is the cat that screeches “Meow-w-w,” in the night…after the bats…

This is the mummy that gives a long groan…after the cat…

This is the skeleton shaking his bones…after the mummy…

This is the monster stomping his feet…after the skeleton…

These are the children who shout “Trick or Treat.”

 

Make-up, mask, wig, cape, 

Sheet, shoes, hat, drape. 

Pin-it, tie-it, think, create,

To make your costume really great!

 

All around the town tonight,

The ghosts chased all their friends,

Everyone had lots of fun,

Boo! It's pretend.
