Five Little Ghosts

Five little ghosts in a haunted house at play,
Along came a funny skeleton and chased one ghost away.

Four little ghosts in a haunted house at play,
Along came a giant monster and chased one ghost away.

Three little ghosts in a haunted house at play,
Along came a tiny spider and chased one ghost away.

Two little ghosts in a haunted house at play,
Along came an ugly witch and chased one ghost away.

One little ghost in a haunted house at play,
Along came a big fat cat and chased the ghost away.

Can you find the ghosts and say:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ghosts come back and play!

 

If You're A Ghost and You Know It
( 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

 

Ghost Number Eight

Ghost, ghost, number eight
Bumped his head on the gate.
The gate swung in,
The gate swung out.
And hear him shout: ...BOO!

Halloween Rhyme

Ghost Finger Play

I saw a ghost (Fingers circle eyes.)
He saw me too (Point to yourself.)
I waved at him (Wave your hand.)
But he said, "BOO!"

 

In My Witches Brew

Dead leaves, seaweed, rotten eggs too.
Stir them in my witches brew.
I've got magic alakazoo.
Oooh, my witch's brew
Ooh what's it going to do to you?
.... BOO!

 

Three Little Witches

One little, two little, three little witches
flying over haystacks, flying over ditches.
sliding down the moon without any hitches,
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

 

There was a Witch

There was a witch all skin and bones...
ooooooooooh
she lived down by the old graveyard...
ooooooooooooh
one night she decided to take a walk...
ooooooooooooooooh
so, she walked down by the old graveyard...
ooooooooooooh
she saw the bones all layin' around...
ooooooooooh
so she went to the closet to get her broom...
ooooooooooooh
she opened the door and...BOO!
