Science/Social Studies:
Body Parts: Talk about how we all have bones that hold us together. All
of our bones connected together make what’s called our skeleton. Go over
basic body parts with some songs.
Watch the Skeleton Dance and do the worksheets
along with it.
The witch has an Itch (tune: Farmer in the
Dell)
The witch has an itch, The witch has an itch.
Oh where, oh where, oh where does the witch have an itch?
On her tiny little ____, her tiny little ____,
The witch has an itch on her tiny little _____.
(Children fill in body parts like toe, nose, etc.)
Hinges
I'm all made of hinges, 'cause ev'rything bends
From the top of my neck way down to my ends.
I'm hinges in front, and I'm hinges in back;
But I have to be hinges, or else I would crack!
Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes,
Knees and toes, knees, and toes.
Head, shoulders, knees, and toes,
Eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Movement:
Who Has The Bone? (From:
http://supersimplelearning.com/songs/themes-series/halloween/the-skeleton-dance/
)
For this game, you will need a plastic bone. A picture of a bone is fine, too. Have everyone sit in a circle. One player is the skeleton and stands in the middle of the circle, covering his eyes. Play "The Skeleton Dance" song. The seated players pass the bone around the circle until the music stops. All of the seated players put their hands behind their backs. When the teacher says, "Okay!" the skeleton opens his eyes and tries to guess who is holding the bone. He can ask, "Do you have the bone?" Seated students reply either, "No, I don't. Try again!" or, "Yes, I do. Here you are!" The player with the bone becomes the next skeleton.
My neighbor also has a bone toss game that I might try to borrow.
Fingerplays and songs:
For This Is Halloween
(tune:10 Little Indians) One little skeleton hopping up and down, One little skeleton hopping up and down, One little skeleton hopping up and down, For this is Halloween.
Two little children playing trick or treat…
Three little pumpkins standing in a row… Four little goblins running all around… Five little witches flying through the air…
Skeleton Parade
The skeletons are out tonight They march about the street With bony bodies, bony heads And bony hands and feet. Bony bony bony bones With nothing in between Up and down and all around They march on Halloween. |

Literacy:
Sing the Alphabet Song.
Today’s letter is i. Make an “ice monster” out of a tissue box. Have
kids feed the ice monster things that start with I. Print out pictures and
dig out some toys of things that start with I.
Read a Halloween story:
The Spooky Wheels on the Bus—J. Elizabeth Mills
Mouse’s First Halloween—Lauren Thompson
Over in the Hollow—Rebecca Dickinson
Write a spooky story together by drawing out cards from a pumpkin to
fill in the blanks or just asking the kids to fill in the blanks.
Once upon spooky night there was a _____________________. His name was
________________. He was very scared of _________________________. Now this was a very special night because
it was Halloween. [Character] decided to go trick-or-treating even though he
was so scared of [fear]. He just hoped he wouldn’t run into one. Slowly and carefully,
he stepped out of his house. Slowly and carefully, he opened his gate. Slowly
and carefully, he stepped onto the sidewalk. Aaaaaaugghhhh! He ran into a
_____________________. But it was not a [fear], so he wasn’t afraid. He said,
“Happy Halloween!” and continued on his way. Slowly and carefully, he walked
to the first house on the street. Slowly and carefully, he knocked on the
door. Creeeeeeaaakkk. The door opened and there stood a
__________________________. But it was not a [fear], so [character] wasn’t
afraid. He said, “Trick-or-Treat” and then thanked the [ ] for his candy.
Slowly and carefully, he walked toward the next house. He was almost there
when a ____________________ jumped out at him from behind a tree.
Aaaaauggghhhhh! [Character] jumped and began to run away. He wasn’t looking
where he was running and tripped over a rock and fell down. His candy spilled
all over the sidewalk and his knee hurt from falling down. [Character] began
to cry. Suddenly a hand appeared to help him up. [Character] took the hand
and stood up. He turned to thank the person who helped him only to discover
it was [fear]. The [fear] smiled at him and said, “Are you okay?” [Character]
gulped. The [fear] didn’t seem so scary anymore…actually, he seemed kind of
nice. [Character] smiled and said, “Thank you for your help. Would you like
to go trick-or-treating with me?” The new friends then went trick-or-treating
together and had a very happy Halloween.
We could draw pictures to go along with the story after we tell the
story together.
