With our Halloween Songs For Kids we introduce all the fun of Halloween in a gentle way without it being too scary for little ones.
It’s Nearly Halloween is the easiest song in our collection of halloween songs. Therefore it’s perfect for younger children as it doesn’t have any dance or game, but it’s best just sung with finger puppets.
The tune is borrowed from the well known ‘Farmer in His Den’. So it’s very simple for everyone to pick up and even the younger ones can join in the fun!
Halloween Songs For Kids
It’s Nearly Halloween!
It’s nearly Halloween,
It’s nearly Halloween,
Oh my, Hip- hooray!
It’s nearly Halloween!

A pumpkin I have seen,
A pumpkin I have seen,
Oh my, Hip- hooray!
It’s nearly Halloween!

(sung to the tune of The Farmer’s In His Den)
(repeat verses with a scary witch, a flapping bat, a spooky ghost, big black cat etc.)
There are so many ways to make little puppets. You can use felt, card, or even recycled egg boxes and so this would make a great craft activity to go along with the song. I found this really quick and easy idea for finger puppets on pinterest. Or you could use our free printable Halloween rhythm sheet below. Mount the images on card and then attach them to lolly sticks – just click on the picture to download and print.
