Now move your body!Five little Pumpkins (One hand up)sitting on a gate. The first one said (Point to thumb)"My, it's getting late."The second one said, (Pointer finger)"There are witches in the air"The third one said, (Middle finger)"But we don’t care"The forth one said, (Ring finger)"We’ll run and run and run"The fifth one said, (Little finger)"It's just Halloween fun.""Whooooo" went the wind. And out went the light (Clap hands)And the five little pumpkins rolled out of site.(Roll arms)

Now listen to your teacher. You’ll hear a story. Be ready to answer some questions and don’t be afraid!Two young brothers were at home alone in the apartment while their parents visited their neighbours next door for a while.“Be good boys,” their parents said. To keep themselves occupied the boys decided to play a game of hide and seek. The older boy turned his head to the wall and began to count. He could hear his little brother’s feet as he scampered about looking for a place to hide.“Ready or not I’m coming,” cried the older brother and off he went looking for his brother. He looked in all the usual places, behind the sofa, in the bathroom behind the shower curtain, behind the curtains in every room, and under all the beds, but he couldn’t find him. The apartment was eerily silent. Then he heard a scraping sound coming from the wardrobe. The boy was sure he’d already looked there, but he went anyway and called out, “Come out I’ve found you!” but there was only silence. Again he called for his brother to come out and again nothing. Opening the door, the boy tried to peer behind the wall of dresses and coats hanging there. He bent down, but he did not see any feet standing there. He began to rise up and put his hand out into the mass of clothing to feel for his little brother when a small, white, icy cold hand came out, grabbed his wrist, and tried to pull him into the closet. As he is trying to pull himself free, he hears a noise behind him, looks over his shoulder, and sees his brother behind him. “Couldn’t you find me?” asks the boy. The older brother screams in fright and desperately tries to free himself from the grip of the hand, all the while being pulled into the wardrobe. The younger brother grabs him and together they manage to pull free. They both run screaming from the apartment. Nobody knows what would have happened if the hand had managed to pull him in. Do you!

This family lives in the big dark house. Say as much information as you can about each member. Try to guess their names, age, relation to each other, their hobbies and what they do in everyday life. Be creative!

Now listen to the poem and be ready to discuss!Jack-O-Lantern Oh, once I had a pumpkin, a pumpkin, a pumpkin Oh, once I had a pumpkin, with no face at all With no eyes and no nose and no mouth and no teeth Oh, once I had a pumpkin with no face all So I made a jack-o-lantern, jack-o-lantern, jack-o-lantern So I made a jack-o-lantern with a big funny face With big eyes and a big nose and big mouth and big teeth So I made a jack-o-lantern with a big funny face.
