I used this outline for a Halloween program in my previous position. Since Halloween is coming up, I thought it would be fun to share! Unfortunately I was unable to locate images of the crafts we made. Provided are the links to the pages that inspired the crafts.

This program was for children ages 2-6.

Books

Woo! The Not-So-Scary Ghost by Ana Martin Larranaga
Plumply, Dumply Pumpkin by Mary Serfozo
Monster, Be Good! by Natalie Marshall

Songs 

If You're a Ghost and You Know It

I used the following lyrics and actions:

If you’re a ghost and you know it, just say BOO!
If you're a monster and you know it, stomp your feet. 
If you’re a skeleton and you know it, shake your bones.
If you love Halloween and you know it, clap your hands.

Five Little Pumpkins
I used the version by Everything Preschool.

Parade!

After the storytime, I took the kids on a parade around the library! They picked up goodies at different desks. Everyone wore their costume.

I played the CD Kidz Bop Halloween while the kids worked on their crafts.

Crafts

I offered three crafts to the kids.

Frankenstein paper plate.

Paper plate mummy.
