Sometimes kidlets can have a tricky time understanding the difference between the word "pumpkin" and "jack-o-lantern." This hand play song helps make the vocabulary a little more clear (and a little more fun!) It's also good for motor skills development, and body part identification (during the song, just point to your eyes, nose, mouth, and teeth when prompted.)
Did You Ever See A Pumpkin?
(Sing to the tune of "Did You Ever See A Lassie?")
"Did you ever see a pumpkin, a pumpkin, a pumpkin
Did you ever see a pumpkin with no face at all?
With no eyes, no nose, no mouth, and no teeth?
Did you ever see a pumpkin with no face at all?
So I made a jack-o-lantern, jack-o-lantern, jack-o-lantern,
I made a jack-o-lantern with a big funny face!
With big eyes, a big nose, a big mouth, and big teeth.
I made a jack-o-lantern with a big funny face!"
*Try repeating the song, substituting "big" with "small," using your "small voice" to reflect the difference. You can continue on with other words, too, like "grumpy," "silly," etc.
