Pumpkin Counting chants

This time of year is a fun time to be learning another language! We use pumpkins, skeletons, ghosts, etc to practice counting and to introduce body parts. This week in some of our classes, we have been learning the "5 little pumpkin" song / chant in French and Spanish!

Here are a few fun videos to reinforce these lessons!


Spanish version: 
Cinco Calabazas For more fun music in Spanish visit

Cinco calabazas sentadas en su casa,
una calabaza se siente muy cansada.

Cuatro calabazas sentadas en su casa,
 una calabaza se siente asustada. 
Tres calabazas sentadas en su casa, 
una calabaza se siente enojada. 
Dos calabazas sentadas en su casa, 
una calabaza se siente muy frustrada. 
Una calabaza sentada en su casa, 
una calabaza se siente sorprendida.
Cinco calabazas sentadas en su casa, 
y cuando sale el sol se siente muy feliz.


 French Version:

Cinq petites citrouilles dansent dans la nuit.
La première dit, "Oh qu'il est tard."
La deuxième dit, "Qui passe là-bas?"
La troisième dit, "Je suis un fantôme."
La quatrième dit, "Oh, que j'ai peur."
La cinquième dit, "Vite sauvons-nous!"


English Version:

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The first one said, "Oh, my it's getting late"
The second one said, "There are witches in the air."
The third one said, "But we don't care."
The fourth one said, "Let's run, let's run!"
The fifth one said, "We're ready for some fun"
 
Then Woooooo went the wind
And OUT went the lights.
 
And five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
