Halloween Motion Song

 Halloween Motion Song 

ADDING THE WHOLE SCENARIO 

Motion 

By Grace L Smalley 

 Tune:  Oats Peas Beans and Barley Grow 

(Even number of primary enter, dressed as ghosts and jack-o-lanterns holding them in cle of left arm) 

We are jack-o-lanterns1 bright, 
Lighting this October night. 
We're made of pumpkins big2 and 

round, 
That grew on vines along the ground. 3 

Johnny found us in the corn, 

Only just this very morn. 

He cut our mouths and made our eyes 5 

Now he won't have his pumpkin pies.

See us grin,6 and glare, and stare, 

Does it give you quite a scare, 

When we come running7 at you so, 

And keep on laughing, "Ho ho ho!"

Forms a circle, playmates all, 

Marching9 gayly round the hall; 

Laugh and sing- it's lots of fun, 

When Halloween has just begun.

Now how lightly we can trip. 

With our partners10 we will skip

Make our bows11 and say, Good-

 night 

Then quickly we will take a 

flight. 12
