Songs:
If You’re A Monster And You Know It
If you’re a monster and you know it, clap your paws.
(Stomp the floor, snap your jaws, give a roar)
The Monsters Stomp Around The House (Tune: The Ants Go Marching)
The monsters stomp around the house, hurrah, hurrah
The monsters stomp around the house, hurrah, hurrah
The monsters stomp around the house
The children run away in fear
And the monsters roar and cheer
Happy Halloween! Happy Halloween!
Horns And Fangs (Tune: Head and Shoulders)
Horns and fangs, knees and claws
Kneees and claws, knees and claws
Horn and fangs, knees and claws
Eyes, ears, Tail and paws.
Ten Little Monsters (Tune: 10 Little Indians)
One little, two little, three little monsters
Four little, five little, six little monsters,
Seven little, eight little, nine little monsters
Ten little monsters roaring at me!
Monster Hunt
We’re going on a monster hunt.
We’re going to find a big one!
We’re not scared, but-
What if he’s under the bed?
Better go over it (squoosh, squoosh, squoosh)
What if he’s in the closet?
Better close it, Slam (clap)
What if he’s behind the curtains? (peek)
Better open them, swish! (fly hands apart)
Shhh! What’s that??? A monster!
(go backwards thru song and jump back into bed)
Monster Pokey (Tune: Hokey Pokey)
You put your claws in, you take your claws out
You put your claws in and you shake them all about!
You do the monster pokey and you turn yourself about!
That’s what it’s all about! (horns, tail, big feet, and hairy self)
Rhymes:
5 Little Monsters Jumping on the Bed
Five little monsters jumping on the bed
One fell off and bumped his head
Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said,
“No more monsters jumping on the bed!”
(Repeat: 4, 3, 2, 1)
No little monsters jumping on the bed
None fell off and bumped their heads
Mommy called the doctor and the doctor said,
“No more monsters jumping on the bed!”
Monster Monster
Monster, monster, turn around
Monster, monster, touch the ground
Monster, monster, reach up high
Monster, monster, touch the sky
Monster, monster, find your nose
Monster, monster, find your toes
Monster, monster, find your knees
Monster, monster, sit down please
Five Little Monsters
5 Little monsters by the light of the moon
Stirring the pudding with a long, wooden spoon.
The 1st one said, “It musn’t be runny.”
The 2nd one said, “That would make it taste funny.”
The 3rd one said, “ It musn’t be lumpy.”
The 4th one said, “ That would make me grumpy.”
The 5th one smiled and hummed a little tune,
And licked all the drippings from the long, wooden spoon.
