It's Halloween Night, be ready for a spooky celebration!

Fingerplays:

The Ghost 
I saw a ghost (fingers circle eyes)
He saw me too (point to yourself)
I waved at him (wave your hand)
But he said, “Boo!” (try to scare the person next to you)

Pumpkin A pumpkin is big ( circle hands over head)
A pumpkin is round ( circle hands in front)
A pumpkin has a great big smile ( outline smile on mouth)
But doesn’t make a sound ( Put finger over lips)

Early Literacy Tip:

Talk to your preschooler about the costume they're wearing.  Ask about the colors and what they're pretending to be.  Ask a lot of open ended questions to encourage him/her to describe things.
