Favorite October music part two: action songs!

These two come from the Wee Sing for Halloween CD.

First is "Spooky Loo", a cute Halloween version of Looby Loo.

It's too early in the year to worry about right hand & left hand, etc.. we just put in one hand, and then try to use "the other hand" on the next verse.

When we are walking around the circle, I encourage the kids to make up a spooky walk. They are so creative!

This is easier than the hokey pokey, so it's good for even the youngest children.

Next favorite is "Fly Little Bats" an action song that encourages children to act out flying bats, creeping spiders, stomping monsters, crawling cats --- but that is where I stop the song. The following actions would be great fun (dancing skeletons, floating ghosts) but I have found some children are frightened by skeletons & ghosts, so I just don't go there. They don't seem to mind the monsters.
