Halloween Songs For Kids- The Halloween Flap!

October 23, 2019 By Sara Mullett 3 Comments

Here’s a new addition to our Halloween Songs For Kids that uses rhyming words, alliteration and repetition which is all such fantastic practice for speech development and early literacy.

When you sing The Halloween Flap! there’s plenty of opportunity for making spooky noises and impersonations too and kids will love the ending when they get their turn to frighten all of the scary things away!

The Halloween Flap – Halloween Songs For Kids

There’s a monster in the dumpster,  roar! roar! roar!

A monster in the dumpster,  roar! roar!  roar!

A monster in the dumpster,  roar! roar! roar!

Don’t open it anymore!

*

There’s a ghost in the garden,  woo! woo! woo!

A ghost in the garden,  woo! woo! Woo!

A ghost in the garden,  woo! woo! woo!

What are we going to do?

*

There’s a bat in the bathroom,  flap! flap! flap!

A bat in the bathroom,  flap! flap! Flap!

A bat in the bathroom,  flap! flap! flap!

What shall we do about that!

*

There’s a witch in the kitchen making a brew,

A witch in the kitchen making a brew,

A witch in the kitchen making a brew,

It’s awfully smelly too!

*

We’ll dress up spooky and scare them away,

Dress up spooky and scare them away,

Dress up spooky and scare them away,

And that’s where they’re going to stay!!

*

This song borrows it’s tune from the traditional Skip To My Lou but with some slight adjustments to the rhythm to make the new words fit!

Kids love adding actions along the way, and perhaps they can come up with a new verse or two?

    This sounds like such a fun activity! But what is a “flap song?” It sounds like there is an activity to go with the song.

      Hi Lynda,
      It’s just the name of the song (because of the bats in the bathroom verse) but as I suggest in the post, it’s perfect for acting out or doing some impersonations – definitely one that allows both the kids and the teacher/parent to get creative! Would love to hear what you come up with! 🙂 Sara
