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.

Songs

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.
