Pumpkin Songs and Rhymes
Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins
sitting on a gate (hold up fingers for pumpkins)
The first one said "Oh my! It's getting late" (slap
face ala Home Alone)
The second one said, "There are witches in the air"
(point)
The third one said "But we don't care" (shrug
shoulders)
The fourth one said "Let's have some fun" (throw hand
in the air)
Then "Ooooooh" went the wind (say softly)
And OUT when the lights (clap hands to the word "out"
and say loudly)
And the five little pumpkins rolled outta sight. (roll hands)
I'm a
Little Pumpkin (tune: I'm a Little Teapot)
I'm a little pumpkin
Orange and round.
Here is my stem,
There is the ground.
When I get all cut up
Don't you shout!
Just open me up
And scoop me out!
We Are
Pumpkins (tune: Buffalo Girls)
We are pumpkins big and round
Big and round, big and round
We are pumpkins big and round. Sitting on the ground.
See our great big shining eyes,
Shining eyes, shining eyes
See our great big shining eyes, Looking all around.
See our great big laughing mouths
Laughing mouths, laughing mouths.
See our great big laughing mouths, Smiling right at you!

A neighbor came and took one then there were 4
4 little pumpkins under a tree

3 little pumkins looked so new
I gave one away then there were 2

Pumpkin Crafts
Jack-O- lantern carving, is a fun and traditional party activity. The children can help plan the face maybe by drawing and designing prototypes, while the teacher can do the actual carving. Everyone can participate in the fun of removing the ooey gooey pulp, a great sensory activity. For safety purposes, you may wish to light up your new friend with a flashlight instead of a candle.
Paper Mache Pumpkins: Use an inflated balloon for the form. Dip newspaper strips in a wet mixture of flour and water and lay across the balloon entirely. Let dry. Paint and decorate as desired.
