Can’t Wait to
Celebrate
(from Jim Gill’s CD “Irrational Anthem and More Salutes to
Nonsense”)
ABCs
Open/Shut Them
Open shut them, open shut them
Give a little clap clap clap clap
Open shut them, open shut them
Put them in your lap lap lap
Creep them crawl them, creep them crawl them
Right up to your chinny chin chin
Open wide your little mouth- but do not let them in!

Ghosts in the House by Kazuno Kohara
I've Got a Ghost
*each kid took a paper ghost to follow along with this song
(to the tune of "Skip to My Lou")
I've got a ghost on my knee
I've got a ghost on my knee
I've got a ghost on my knee
I hope he doesn't scare me!
[repeat with as many body parts as you would like]
adapted from Storytime Kids
Five Spooky Ghosts
Five
grey and spooky ghosts, doing what they love most
Scaring
some very silly kids- Boo! Boo!
One
flew into the sky, where it was nice and dry
Now
there are four grey spooky ghosts
[repeat
until no ghosts are left]

Storytime Ukulele
Breathing Ball
Just Say Boo by Susan Hood
Color Bats
*I made bats in 5 different colors of felt for this activity. When each child's color was called, they would place the bat on the felt board. It only took a little coaching from the caregivers.
The sun is setting, the moon's rising high
Now all the [red] bats start to fly!
from Abby the Librarian
If You're a Ghost and You Know It
If
you're a ghost and you know just say boo (boo!)
If
you're a ghost and you know just say boo (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 just say boo (boo!)
[we
repeated with some suggestions from my big kids group the day before, including wolves/howling,
bats/flapping wings, etc.]
Bubbles in the Air
There are bubbles in the air, in the air
There are bubbles in the air, in the air
There are bubbles in the air, there are bubbles in the air
There are bubbles in the air, in the air
There are bubbles way up high, way up high
There are bubbles way up high, way up high
There are bubbles way up high, way up high in the sky
There are bubbles way up high, way up high
There are bubbles way down low, way down low
There are bubbles way down low, way down low
There are bubbles way down low, and they tickle on your toes
There are bubbles way down low, way down low
Bubbles
Goodbye Song
(to the tune of She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain)
The goodbye train is leaving see you soon (toot toot)
The goodbye train is leaving see you soon (toot toot)
The goodbye train is leaving, the goodbye train is leaving
The goodbye train is leaving see you soon (toot toot)
