Ten Little Ghosts
Ten little ghosts all dressed in white (Hold up 10 fingers)
Went out a-haunting on Halloween night. (Wiggle fingers)
They all looked around for someone to scare. (Cup hands around eyes, look around)
They floated here and floated there. (Wiggle fingers to the right then to the left)
Then the ten little ghosts took a look at you (Point to child)
And they all ran away when you said "Boo!"(Put hands behind your back)

Literacy Tip of the Week: 
Fine motor activities such as coloring, sticking stickers or playing with Playdoh help your child develop the muscle strength needed to write successfully. Creating a picture can also be a great way for a child to tell a story before they are able to write.

Craft:
We decorated ghosts with tissue paper :)
