Rhyme/fingerplay suggestions:
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, let's run!"
The fifth one said, "Isn't Halloween fun?"
 
Then Woooooo went the wind
And OUT went the lights.
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

Owl’s Eyes
See my big and scary eyes? (Make a mask with hands)
Get ready for a big surprise….BOO!

Flutter, Flutter Little Bat
Flutter, flutter little bat,
How I wonder where you're at.

Swooping through the darkest night -
You find your way without a light.

Flutter, flutter little bat,
How I wonder where you're at!
