EducationWorld has curated a list of six Halloween songs that teachers can share with their students during the month of October. From pumpkins to friendly monsters and witches, students can get into the Halloween spirit. 

  1. Shake Dem Halloween Bones by W. Nikola-Lisa: With this book, teachers can join their students in a fun hip-hop themed song. "It's Halloween night. The city is quiet. The city is still," Amazon says. "But as the lights go down, the music comes up - and the guests start to arrive at the hip-hop Halloween ball! And oh, what a party it is."
  2. Five Little Pumpkins: Provided by The Learning Station on YouTube, students can listen to a fun song about five little pumpkin sitting on a gate on a dark and windy October night. This song is also sung in a hip-hop beat.

  1. The 13 Nights of Halloween by Guy Vasilovich: In this book, Amazon says the class can follow this fun adventure: "On the first night of Halloween, what does your mummy give you? A bright, shiny Skeleton Key, of course! In fact, for each of the thirteen nights leading up to the big night, your mummy is ready with gifts that include everything from singing skulls to demons dancing to icky eyeballs. The spookier and slimier, the better!"
