More Halloween Songs

Last year I collected a great big round up of slightly spooky songs, and I’ve come across a few more fun ones that I wanted to share.

For all these songs, you can click the song titles to see my sources. I altered the first song a little (green ghosts didn’t match my felts, and kids seem more rambunctious than delicious). Scroll down to the bottom for more about the felts.



Five Grey and Spooky Ghosts
Tune: Five Green and Speckled Frogs
G
Five grey and spooky ghosts
C
Doing what they love most
G                              D
Scaring some most rambunctious kids (Boo! Boo!)
G
One flew into the sky
C
Where it was nice and dry
G              D                G
Now there are four grey spooky ghosts (Boo! Boo!)




4... 3... 2... 1...

Felt Story Extensions
The ghost felts are cut freehand, while Old MacDonald is an extension of the Old MacDonald guessing game. Owl, bat, and mouse templates are from Pattern Universe. I’d like to make a set of haunted houses as well, but for now we’ll sing it as “haunted barn.”

You can also use the barn/animal set with the rhyme, “Little ghost playing hide and seek… Are you in the orange barn? Let’s take a peek.”
