Spooky Halloween Songs for Kids

October 25, 2022 By Sara Mullett 2 Comments

These Spooky Halloween Songs For Kids will definitely have something for everyone! While Halloween is such a fun holiday for all of us, aside from the old favourites such as 5 Little Pumpkins,  there seems to be a shortage of simple kid-friendly songs.

When the evenings start growing dark earlier and the trees start shedding their Autumn leaves, you know that Halloween is just around the corner. It’s such fun to start the preparations by making decorations and costumes, and these spooky songs and activities are perfect to get everyone in the mood.

Easy Piggyback Tunes

This collection of songs are easy to teach and pick up as they borrow well known tunes. And little ones won’t find them scary, so there can be lots of spooky fun for kids of all ages – just perfect to get little witches or wizards in the mood for some magic!

There are action songs with plenty of movement. A circle game to get everyone joining in. Fun craft activities to keep them busy during the build up. A spooky rhythm game with printable flashcards, and a very handy educational board game! Just click on the links to take you to the individual posts and printables.

I hope you enjoy this round-up of all the best Halloween songs for kids from Let’s Play Music!
