Five Little Pumpkins
Happy Halloween everyone!
The students love to recite this poem together. We use real pumpkins in the class to act it out, but you could use paper ones at home to help illustrate the concept of 1 less and counting backwards from 5!
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 I don’t care.”
The fourth one said, ”Let’s run and run and run.”
The fifth one said, ”I’m ready for some fun!”
“Wooooooo” went the wind,
And out went the lights.
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
