Halloween Songs and Fingerplays

On the First Day of Halloween

On the first day of Halloween
my Swamp Thing gave to me,
A hoot owl in a dead tree.
Two trick or treaters,
Three black cats,
Four skeletons,
Five Snicker bars,
Six goblins gobbling,
Seven pumpkins glowing
Eight monsters shrieking,
Nine ghosts a-booing
Ten ghouls a-groaning,
Eleven masks a-leering,
Twelve bats a-flying.


The Grim Reaper is Coming to Town

Oh, you better not shrief,
You better not groan,
You better not howl,
You better not moan,
The Grim Reaper is coming town!

He's gonna find out from folks that he meets,
WHo should have arsenic put in their treats,
Grim Reaper is coming to town.

He'll search in every graveyard,
Haunted houses far and near.
To see if you should stay alive,
Or die right here in fear!

So, you better not shriek,
You better not groan,
You better not howl,
You better not moan,
The Grim Reaper is coming to town.


Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with poison ivy,
fa la la la la la la la la
"Tis the season to be slimy,
fa la la la la la la la la
Don we now our strange apparel,
fa la la la la la la la la
Troll the ancient Halloween carol,
fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the goblins rise before us,
fa la la la la, la la la la.
As we sing the Halloween chorus,
fa la la la la, la la la la.
Follow them as they ascend,
fa la la, la la la, la la la
Join with all your loony friends.
fa la la la la, la la la la la.


If You're grumpy and you know it, shake your fist
If you're grump and you know it, shake your fist.

From ashes, oaks, and maples
From trees of every name.
The sunshire spread a carpet
And everything was grand.
Miss weather led the dancing
Mr. Wind led the band.


FRANKENSTEIN
(tune: Clementine)

In a castle, on a mountain
Near the dark and murky Rhine,
Swelt a doctor, the conconctor
Of the monster Frankenstein.

Oh my monster oh my monster
Oh my monster Frankenstein
You were built to last forever
Dreadful scary Frankenstein

In a graveyard near the cattle
Where the moon refused to shine
He dug for noses and for toeses
For his monster Frankenstein


ONCE THERE WAS A PUMPKIN
Once there was a pumpkin (small circle with hands)
And it grew (slowly separate hands)
And grew,
And grew. (Join hands)

Now it's a jack-0-lantern
And smiles at you (with a smile point to each other)
and you,
and you.


WHAT AM I? (Flannelboard)

And eyes so bright,
A nose that glows,
My, what a sight!
A fiery mouth with a jolly grin,
No arms, no legs, just head to chin!



PUMPKIN ON THE VINE
(Tune: Farmer in the Dell)

The pumpkin on the vine
The pumpkin on the vine
I picked the one that weighed a tone
And that's the one that's mine.

I made two funny eyes
A mouth that's oversize
The other gook my mother took
For baking pumpkin pies.

The pumpkin on the vine
The pumpkin on the vine
He's now a jack o lantern
And you ought to see him shine.


JACK O LANTERN
(tune: Clementine)

Jack o Lantern, Jack O Lantern
You are such a funny sight
As you sit there in my window
Looking out into the night
You were once a yellow pumpkin
Growing on a sturdy vine.
Now you are my jack o lantern
Let your candlelight shine.

The Pumpkins are Here

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, "Goodbye."


Five Jack-O-Lanterns Shining Bright

Sitting on a fence on Halloween night
Five smiling Jack-o=lanterns are shining bright
Watching the kids going Trick-or-treat
Filling their bags with something sweet.

First comes a king with his crown on tight
He takes a Jack-o-lantern shining bright.

Next a princess, such a beautiful sight
She takes a Jack-o-lantern shining bright.

Third comes a knight with his sword of might
He takes a Jack-o-Lantern shining bright.

Fourth comes a dragon, I don't think he'll bite
He takes a jack-o=lantern shining bright.

Last is a jester with black and red tights
She takes a jack-o-lantern shining bright.

Five trick-or-treaters or Halloween night.
Have five smiling Jack-o-lanterns shining bright.

He made me jump with fright.

I spied a spooky ghost
And spun around in fright,
Hey, ho, hey, ho,
Such a scary Halloween night!
BOO!

FIVE OWLS
One wise owl sitting in a tree
Hooted to another, "Come sit with me."

Hooted to one more, "Come, let's be three!"
Three wise owls sitting in a ree

Hooted to a fifth, "Join our family."
Five wise owls sang, "Whooo,whooo, whooo!"
And before you knew it, away they all flew!


WONDERFUL WITCHES
One little, two little, three little witches,
(hold up one, two, and three fingers on count)

Hiding in the house?
Tiptoe, tiptoe,
I hope he won't jump out.

Two Pumpkin Seeds

One day I found two pumpkin seeds,
I planted one and pulled the weeds.
It sprouted roots and a long green vine.
A pumpkin grew.

But there is something I'll admit
That has me worried just a bit.

Hurry, hurry, ring the bell
Hurry, hurry, ring the bell
Ding ding ding, ding ding.

Hurry, hurry climb the ladder
Hurry, hurry climb the ladder
Hurry, hurry climb the ladder
climb, climb, climb, climb, climb.

Hurry, hurry squirt the water
Hurry, hurry squirt the water
Hurry, hurry squirt the water
splash, splash, splash, splash, splash.


Little Firefighter
(tune:  I'm a Little Teapot)

I'm a little firefighter on the go
Here is my helmet, here is my hose.
When I see a fire hear me shout
Turn on the water and put the fire out.


The Firefighter

This firefighter rings the bell (thumb)
This firefighter hold the hose so well. (index)
This firefighter slides down the pole (middle)
This firefighter chops a hole (ring)
This firefighter climbs higher and higher (pinky)
And all the firefighters put out the fire!


Firefighter

Five brave firefighters
Sleeping so, (hold up a hand with fingers flat across palm)
The fire bell rings,
Down the pole they go.  (open the hand and make a downward motion)

Jump in the fire truck
Hurry down the street
Climb up the ladder  (make fingers climb)
Feel the fire's heat. (wipe sweat from your brow)

Five brave firefighters (hold up 5 fingers)
Put the fire out (make a wiping motion)
Hip! Hip! Hooray!
All the people shout! (shout)


Firefighters
(tune: Pop Goes the Weasel)

Down the street the engine goes
The firemen fight the fire
Up the ladder with their hose
Out goes the fire.


The Firemen Song
(tune: The Farmer in the Dell)

The firemen are brave,
The firemen are brave,
Heigh-ho what do you know,
The firemen are brave.


Fire Safety
Tune: Frere Jacques

Never, never play with matches
If you do, if you do
You might burn your fingers
You might burn your fingers
That won't do, that won't do.

Never, never play with fire
If you do, if you do
You might burn your house down
you might burn your house down.
That won't do, that won't do.

Never, never play with fire
If you do, if you do,
You might burn the forest
You might burn the forest
That won't do, that won't do.



Fireman Number 8

Fireman, fireman number eight (two circles on top of each other with hands)
Bumped his head upon the gate (Touch head and slap hands palms together)
The gate swung in (swing prayer hands one way)
The gate swung out (swing hands other way)
That's the way they put the fire out (swing hands back and forth both ways)
Emergency, emergency 9-1-1 (marching, say this 3 times getting faster and faster)


Fire Safety Song

What do you dial if there's a fire,
What do you dial if there is a fire,
What do you dial if there's a fire,
Dial 9-1-1.

What do you do to plan for fire,
What do you do to plan for fire,
What do you do to plan for a fire,
Have a fire drill.

What do you do if you're on fire,
What do you do if you're on fire,
What do you do if you're on fire,
Stop, drop, and roll.

Who comes in a truck if there's a fire,
Comes in a truck if there's a fire,
Comes in a truck if there's a fire.
It's the fireman!


Five Little Firefighters

Five little firefighters sit very still (hold up five fingers)
Until they saw a fire on top of a hill
Number one rings the bell, ding dong. (Bend down thumb)
Number two pulls his big boots on. (Bend down pointer finger)
Number three climbs on the truck right away. (Bend down middle finger)
Number four joins him -- no one can wait.  (Bend down ring finger)
Number five drives the truck to the fire.  (Bend down little finger)
The big yellow flames go higher and higher. (Spread arms)
WHOO--OO!  Whooo--oo!  Hear the fire truck say  (Imitate siren)
As all the cars get out of the way
Shhhh! goes the water from the fire hose spout. (Rub palms together)
And quicker than a wink the fire is out!  (Clap hands)
