On the 31st of October, it is Halloween. The following provides Halloween Templates, free Printables and Activities that will help you celebrate Halloween at your service and can be implemented into the curriculum for children.
The Halloween Songs and Rhymes Posters are great to display within the learning environment for Halloween! These are easy and catchy songs to teach children based on a Halloween theme. These songs include action and counting songs which can be used during group time or during transitions.
A simple and catchy song about being a witch and zooming on your broomstick. Actions can also be included for toddlers and preschoolers. Great song to learn for Halloween!
This Halloween song is great to use with felts or visual aids. Children can "knock on the door" and see which Halloween character is behind the door. It's a fun song to use during transitions.
This is a take on the popular song "Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear Turn Around". Here, children will be scarecrows and they will be doing different body movement actions. This is great for toddlers and preschoolers to join in and follow along.
This is a twist to the favourite Old McDonald Had A Farm but a spooky version for Halloween! Children will enjoy singing along and doing the actions to Old McDonalds Haunted House!
A very simple rhyming action song for toddlers and preschoolers that they can follow along to as they become "monsters". Great to use during transitions or as a quick song before storytime.
This Halloween counting song is simple and easy for toddlers and preschoolers to learn. Children can use their fingers as they say each verse and also include actions of what each monster says.
A playful Halloween version of “The Wheels On The Bus.” Great for holiday fun and imaginative play.
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate,
First one said, "Oh my, it's getting late!"
Second one said "There are witches in the air,"
Third one said, "but we don't care!"
Fourth one said, "Let's run and run and run."
Fifth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"
Ooo ooo went the wind, and out went the lights,
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
