Storytime – Welcome Song
Storytime is starting, starting, starting,
Storytime is starting come listen with me.
Read first story "Sheep Trick or Treat" by Nancy Shaw.
Sing: Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate
The first one said, "Oh, my it's getting late."
The 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!"
Wooooo, went the wind
And out went the light
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!
Read second story "This is not a pumpkin" by Bob Staake, then "Spot's Halloween", and finally "Plumply, Dumply, Pumpkin"
Sing: Five Little Pumpkins
Five little pumpkins at my door,
A neighbor took one and then there were four.
Four little pumpkins under a tree,
Along came a farmer and then there were three.
Three little pumpkins that looked so new
I gave one away and then there were two.
Two little pumpkins out in the sun,
Mother made a pie and then there was one.
Of all the pumpkins, there was just one.
So I made a jack-o-lantern, and that was fun!
Sing: Pumpkin, Pumpkin
Pumpkin, Pumpkin
sitting on a wall,
Pumpkin, Pumpkin
tip and fall,
Pumpkin, Pumpkin
Rolling down the street
Pumpkin, Pumpkin
Trick or treat
