Halloween is quickly approaching....

I have been asked by my associate teacher to plan the day for our grade 2 class. So I have been digging around and brainstorming some ideas this afternoon. I found a great song for primary and junior grades on a website called http://www.eslcafe.com/. I partnered the song with actions and designed a really fancy sheet that I could give out to my students. I have posted the file in the file section of our group seven discussion group(http://groups.google.com/group/brockugroup7). So here are the lyrics with the actions I came up with underneath. I figured that it may come in handy as we will all be involved in some type of planning for Halloween. Feel free to use it and put your own twist on things, if you have any ideas on extending or modifying let me know.


Halloween Wish Song by Karin Abell

(Lyrics, Actions)
Oh I wish I were a crazy scary witch
Witch actions
Yes I wish I were a crazy scary witch
Witch actions
I would have a broom to ride
Imaginary broom ride
I would cast spells all the time
Point with finger
Oh I wish I were a crazy scary witch
Witch actions
I wish I were a dancing skeleton
Dance Creatively

Oh I wish I were a dancing skeleton
Dance Creatively
Wouldn't have to wear my clothes
Brush off shoulder
No skin or hair, just bones
Point to elbow
I wish I were a dancing skeleton
Dance Creatively

I wish I were an eerie spooky ghost
Wave hands above head
Yeah, I wish I were an eerie spooky ghost
Wave hands above head
I would run and yell BOO!
Yell Boo!
Scaring people just like you
Point at peers
Oh I wish I were an eerie spooky ghost
Wave hands above head

I wish I were a vampire bat
Hiss!
Yeah, I wish I were a vampire bat
Hiss!
I would fly around all night
Wave arms (wings)
Looking for someone to bite
Biting action
Oh I wish I were a vampire bat
Hiss!
I wish that every day were Halloween
Witch
Oh I wish that every day were Halloween
Skeleton
I'd be scary, weird or gross
Ghost
As a witch or bat or ghost
Bat
Oh I wish that every day were Halloween!
Yell Boo!
