Put on a Halloween puppet show

October 29, 2011momstownRecessNo comments
Make popsicle stick puppets to ‘play out’ this Halloween song!

A great Halloween activity for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-agers, at a playgroup or with the family.

What you need:

  • Popsicle sticks
  • Cardstock or foam in orange, green, black, yellow, white and grey
  • Googly eyes
  • Scissors
  • Glue

 

With the above materials, you need to make:

  • 5 ghosts
  • 1 skeleton
  • 1 monster
  • 1 spider
  • 1 ugly witch
  • 1 fat black cat

Cut out the shapes, create each puppet (see above)  and glue onto a popsicle stick.

Now you're ready to put on a Halloween Puppet Show with this fun rhyme:

Five little ghosts in a haunted house at play,
Along came a funny skeleton and chased one ghost away.

Four little ghosts in a haunted house at play,
Along came a giant monster and chased one ghost away.

Three little ghosts in a haunted house at play,
Along came a tiny spider and chased one ghost away.

Two little ghosts in a haunted house at play,
Along came an ugly witch and chased one ghost away.

One little ghost in a haunted house at play,
Along came a big fat cat and chased the ghost away.

Can you find the ghosts and say:
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ghosts come back and play!

 

It's great if you can get a few kids to participate together, and 'play' the different characters. Then they can take turns with the puppets and do it all over again!
