2- Practice singing and moving.
Use a scarf as the witches broom.
Stir around and then wave scarf up and down on “oooooo” section of the song.
When you sing “I’ll catch you!” Toss the scarf into the air.
What will we put in our Witches Brew?
1- Brainstorm items to put into the stew.
For these Halloween objects:
Bones- rhythm sticks
Ghost dust-shaker
Eyeballs-xylophone
Toe of a zombie-Drum
Wing of a bat-Sand block
Fur of a cat-Wood or tone block
2-Ask students to choose sounds from classroom instruments or things in the house.
3- Give each student or a group different sounds to play as they pretend to make the stew.
4- Play the sounds on the OOOO part of the song.
5- Repeat the oooo section until all the ingredients are in the stew.
6-Finish with the last line.
7- Put it all together.
Play a game: Students SIT in a circle.
1 student is in the middle of the circle pretending to be the witch.
2 Have the students bend down low to the ground crouching as if hiding from the witch’s spell.
3 Use a prop for the broomstick. On the words “I’ll catch you”, have the witch spin and point the broomstick at a student.
4 Whoever the witch lands on becomes the next witch. This game could be played using a scarf too!
