Fingerplay/Flannel:”If You’re A...”
If you’re a ghost and you know it, just say boo!
*If you’re a bat and you know it flap your wings.
*If you’re a monster and you know it, stomp
your feet.

web.

*This is to the tune of "If you're happy and you know it". The kids had so much fun singing and acting out all the motions for each verse.
File Folder Story: “Ghost’s Dinner”
*This version is a great take on the chocolate chip ghost story. The kids loved seeing the ghosts change color right before their eyes! You use a file folder and when the ghosts change colors, you pull out the sheet to make them change. Here is the link for a PDF where I found this fa-boo-lous idea!

Fingerplay/Flannel: “Make a Jack-O-Lantern”
*We ran out of time for this flannelboard. We've always had this at my library, and I just made a new version to use. You take a pumpkin, without a jack-o-lantern face and tell the kids you want to make a jack-o-lantern for them. Instead of adding your black triangles for the eyes, you add something silly. Like a flower, or a car. The kids usually tell me very quickly that's wrong, and then I'll add the black triangles. I will do this for the nose and mouth until I get everything right for my jack-o-lantern.

Sensory Games:
*The most popular game was putt-putt with the pumpkin, and here is the website where I found the idea for it.
*We also had a pumpkin match-up, which you can download for free here. The kids really seemed to enjoy matching the cute pumpkin shapes.

*Last, but not least we had pumpkin beanbag toss. We took a huge box and cut a jack-o-lantern face out of the front of it. Then we had our beanbags ready and turned the kids loose!
*This year I dressed up as a yellow crayon!
