Witches I

This first song has been the #1 favorite of the children year after year without fail.
Use finger an arm motions on all songs and poems.

Skin and Bones
(Sing this in a slow sing/song chant style)

There was an old woman all skin and bones,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.
She lived down by the old graveyard,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.
One night she thought she'd take a walk,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.
She walked down by the old graveyard,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.
She saw the bones a-lying around,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.
She went to the closet to get a broom,
Oo-oo-oo-oo.
She opened the door and -------
BOO!!!

Three Little Witches
(Sing to the tune of Three Little Indians)

One little, two little, three little witches,
(hold up one hand, nod fingers at each other)
Fly over haystacks, fly over ditches,
(fly hand up and over)
Slide down moon beams without any hitches,
(glide hand downward)
Hey ho Halloween's here!

Witch, Witch

Witch witch, where do you fly?
Under the clouds and over the sky.

Witch, witch, what do you eat?
Little black apples from Hurricane Street.

Witch, witch, what do you drink?
Vinegar and good red ink.

Witch, witch, where do you sleep?
Up in the clouds where the pillows are cheap.

Flying Witches

(Sing to the tune of "When the Saints Come Marching In")

Oh, when the witches
Come flying by.
Oh, when the witches come flying by,
It will be Hall-o-ween night,
When the witches come flying by.

There Was an Old Witch

There was an old witch
Beleive it if you can,
She tapped on the windows
And she ran, ran, ran.
she ran helter skelter with her toes in the air,
Cornstalks flying from the old witches' hair.

Swish goes the broomstick, meow goes the cat,
Plop goes the hop-toad sitting on her hat.
"Whee,"chuckled I, "What fun, what fun!"
Halloween night when the witches run!

Five Little Witches

Five little witches standing by the door.
(hold up five fingers)
One flew out and then there were four.
(flying motion with hand)
Four little witches standing by a tree.
(hold up four fingers)
One went to pick a pumpkin and then there were three.
(picking motion, then hold up three fingers)
Three little witches stirring their brew.
(stirring motion)
One fell in and then there were two.
(hold up two fingers)
Two little witches went for a run.
(running motion with fingers)
One got lost and then there was one.
(hold up one finger)
One little witch, yes only one.
(hold up one finger)
She cast a spell and now there are none.
(make motions as if to cast spell and then put hands in lap)
