Halloween

Last week we learned about Owls. It was not much different than the previous Owl storytime from a few years ago, except for a few new reads, so I am not creating a new post for it. And this week we learned all about pumpkins and Halloween.

Books:
Pete the Cat: Five Little Pumpkins - James Dean
Monster Trouble - Lane Frederickson
Plumply, Dumply Pumpkin - Mary Serfozo
Pumpkin Trouble - Jan Thomas


Repeat Activities:
1. My Little Pumpkin (from previous Halloween storytime)

New Activities:
1. Pumpkin Bread Chant 
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, bread,
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, head.
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, pie.
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, eyes.
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, cake,
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, shake.
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, stew,
Pumpkin, pumpkin, pumpkin, BOO!

2. If You're a Ghost (tune: "If You're Happy and You Know It")
If you're a ghost and you know it, just say BOO,
If you're a ghost and you know it, just say BOO.
If you're a ghost and you know it, and you really want to show it,
If you're a ghost and you know it, just say BOO!

Other verses:
If you're a black cat and you know it, say MEOW
If you're a skeleton and you know it, SHAKE your bones!
