Halloween Theme Learning & FREE Halloween Songs

I love the simple Halloween songs of my childhood! I have continually shared these songs with my kindergartners year after year; always with the same reactions -- Kids love them. Following are the jpgs that you need to print as posters, and the mp3 you will need to sing the tunes with your classroom. These songs and more are part of our Halloween Thematic Unit. This unit also includes the piano scores.

 All of our thematic units contain activities that provide strategic academic teaching in a play way, reaching all areas of the curriculum.
