October Fun: Celebrating The Imagination and Fall Harvest |
Jack-O-Faces
This is Jack-O happy.
This is Jack-O sad.
Now you see him sleepy.
Now you see him mad.
This is Jack in small pieces,
But in a pie
He is best of all!

5 Little Pumpkins
Five little Pumpkins
sitting on a gate.
The first one said,
“Oh my it’s getting late.”
traditional |
Pumpkins
I see pumpkins large,
I see pumpkins small.
I see pumpkins short,
I see pumpkins tall.
I see pumpkins orange,
I see pumpkins green.
Just what we need
For fall and Halloween!

I’m A Little Pumpkin
( Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)
I’m a little pumpkin
Round and stout
Packed full of seeds
That you can scoop out!
Clean me up and carve me
And then I’ll be
The best Jack-o-lantern
That ever could be!

Scarecrow
Scarecrow looks so funny,
Flopping in the field, outside.
Maybe the crows are laughing
As they fly near—
Then hide.

Bat
So what do you wonder
about a bat?
Nocturnal animal.
Fancy that!

Round Little Pumpkin
A round little pumpkin
grew in the sun.
It grew and it grew
To a big, big one.
It grew and it grew
And became on Halloween
The best Jack-o-lantern
ever seen!

Halloween
On Halloween,
Strange things are seen.
We dress-up all dandy,
And ask for some candy:
Trick-or-treat!

Nocturnal Animals
Nocturnal animals
Fascinate me.
While I sleep in bed—
They wake up instead.
