Adorable Preschool Halloween Bat Songs

That's right, bats are ADORABLE!

Five Little Bats, Hanging Upside Down:
(use fingers to count off each bat)

Five little bats hanging upside down,

The 1st one didn’t make a sound.

The 2nd one said, “I’ll fly far tonight.”

The 3rd one said, “I don’t like sunlight!”

The 4th one said, “I want to eat a bug!”

The 5th one said, “Let me give you a hug.”

Five little bats hanging upside down,

Sh-h-h!  It’s daytime. Don’t make a sound!

Bats are Sleeping:
(sung to: Frere Jacques)

Bats are sleeping, bats are sleeping (rest hands on cheek)

Upside down, upside down (look up)

Waiting for the night, waiting for the night, (tap foot)

To fly around, fly around (flap arms like wings.)
