One of my students' favorite songs this time of year is "On Halloween" sung to the tune of "Wheels on the Bus". I printed and laminated a picture of a haunted house and added velcro all around it. I then printed out the pictures of the ten things we might sing about, laminated, and added velcro to them as well. I typically use this in my large group/whole class lesson in preschool but have done it in therapy with just 1-2 students at a time as well. Typically I do it in the smaller setting to pre-teach it so that they are more successful participating in the whole class activity. This type of interactive song allows for turn-taking and for the students to make choices as to what they want to sign about. I did not write this song. I found it on the internet a number of years ago, but have not been able to find the exact same one again to give proper credit to the creator.
Possible verses include:
The cat in the house says
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
The cat in the house says "Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
On Halloween.
The owl in the house says
"Whoo! Whoo! Whoo!"
The scarecrow in the house says
"Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!"
The mummy in the house says
"Mmmm. Mmmm. Mmmm."
The spider in the house says
"Spin! Spin! Spin!"
The ghost in the house says
"Boo! Boo! Boo!"
The bat in the house says
"EEK! EEK! EEK!"
The witch in the house says
"Heh. Heh. Heh."
The monster in the house says
"GRRR. GRRR. GRRR."
The kids in the house say
"Trick or Treat! Trick or Treat! Trick or Treat!"
