FINGERPLAYS AND SONGS:

5 Little Pumpkins

5 little pumpkins sitting on the gate
The 1st one said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"
The 2nd one said, "There are witches in the air!"
The 3rd one said, "But we don't care."
The 4th one said, "Let's run and run and run!"
The 5th one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"
Ooooooh went the wind and out went the light
And the 5 little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

4 Little Spiders

4 Little spiders hanging from a tree
Tried to decide what to wear on Halloween.
The 1st one said, "I'll wear a tall black hat."
The 2nd one said, "I'll dress up like a bat."
The 3rd one said, "A little ghost I'll be."
The 4th one said, "I think I'll just be me."
So the 4 little spiders hanging from a tree
Surprised the trick-or-treaters on the night of Halloween.
