Song: Monster, Monster
Monster, monster, turn around
Monster, monster, touch the ground
Monster, monster, reach up high
Monster, monster, touch the sky
Monster, monster, touch your nose
Monster, monster, grab your toes
Monster, monster, touch your knees
Monster, monster, sit down please

Feltboard: Five Little Pumpkins Sitting on a Gate
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate
First one said “Oh my, it’s getting late!”
Second one said “There are witches in the air”
The third one said ” but we don’t care!”
The fourth one said “let’s run and run and run”
The fifth one said “I’m ready for some fun!”
Ooo ooo went the wind, and out went the light
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight
Since there were only 5 pumpkins, the children could come up and remove a ghost if they weren’t chosen to do a pumpkin.
