Five Little Pumpkins with MP3

Thursday, October 19th, 2006

I posted 5 Little Pumpkins with a recording last year so you all could hear the tempo of the rhyme.

Just yesterday, my 5 year old daughter came home from kindergarten reciting it. She said they were singing it every day on the bus home from school. I asked her if I could record her singing it, and happily, she agreed. So here’s her rendition, which is slightly different from the words below…

MP3 of Five Little Pumpkins

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins (Hold up all 5 fingers)
Sitting on a gate
The first one said,
“Oh, my, it’s getting late!” (Point to wrist like checking the time)
The second one said,
“There are witches in the air!” (Point up and across, like pointing to the witches flying)
The third one said,
“But we don’t care!” (Shake head like saying “no”)
The fourth one said,
“Let’s run and run and run!” (Move arms like you’re running)
The fifth one said,
“I’m ready for some fun!” (A big smile)
OOOOOOOH, went the wind
And OUT went the light (Clap on “out”)
And the five little pumpkins (Hold up five fingers again)
Rolled out of sight. (Roll hands, one over the other)

I hope this helps you get in the spirit of Halloween!

Five Little Pumpkins with Hand Gestures

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

As promised yesterday, here are the hand motions that go with Five Little Pumpkins…

And OUT went the light (Clap on “out”)
And the five little pumpkins (Hold up five fingers again)

As with many children’s songs, there are different hand gestures that can be used. Always feel free to adjust the gestures to suit your needs!

MP3 Recording of Five Little Pumpkins

Monday, October 24th, 2005

My previous post included the words to the Five Little Pumpkins Rhyme. Today I recorded it. So here it is…

MP3 Recording of Five Little Pumpkins

Next I’ll write out the hand motions that go with the rhyme.

I’m also in the process of tracking down the words to “The worms crawl in, the worms crawl out…” I remember singing it as a child with a lot of the kids in the neighborhood. It seems fitting for Halloween. If anyone would like to send me their version to post, please write me.

Frightfully yours,

Mama Lisa

Halloween Song – Five Little Pumpkins

Friday, October 21st, 2005

Last week I brought my two kids to pick out Halloween costumes. My son’s going to be a zombie, he’s 11. He loves those old fashioned Halloween characters. My four year old daughter has been talking about how she wants to fly. So she chose to be a fairy. I put the costume on her and she asked, “How do you get the wings to flap?” Kids can be very funny at times.

In anticipation of October 31st, here’s a Halloween song…

Five Little Pumpkins

Five little pumpkins
Sitting on a gate
The first one said,
“Oh, my, it’s getting late!”
The second one said,
“There are witches in the air!”
The third one said,
“But we don’t care!”
The fourth one said,
“Let’s run and run and run!”
The fifth one said,
“I’m ready for some fun!”
OOOOOOOH, went the wind
And OUT went the light (clap on “out”)
And the five little pumpkins
Rolled out of sight.

Enjoy the season! Soon it will be winter.

-Lisa

P.S. I’m looking for more Halloween songs, poems, jokes and traditions (from around the world) to post. I’d appreciate it if anyone would like to send me any.
