Five Little Pumpkins

(With music & hand actions)

(Hold up five fingers and touch each one as the verse progresses.)

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate;

The first one said, "Oh my it's getting late."
(Touches a wrist where a watch would be)

The second one said, "There are witches in the air."
(Swoosh hand through the air)

The third one said, "But I don't care."
(Shake head as if saying "No")

The fourth one said, "I'm ready for some fun!"
(Rub hands together mischievously)

The fifth one said, "Let's run and run and run."
(Hands run after each other)

"Wooooooo" went the wind,
(Cup hands around mouth)

And out went the lights.
(Chop hands through air like an umpire making a "safe" sign)

And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
(Roll fists around each other)
