I’m sharing a Scarf Movement Tutorial for the Halloween Song “Have You Seen the Ghost of John?”
I give step by step directions and demonstrate how to do this activity with your children and students.
You can find this song on any of your favorite music services.
I like to pair scarf activities with instrument activities.
These are some of my favorite and most effective resources that I recommend using with a scarf activity.
You can use this fun Halloween song as a scarf movement activity.
“Have You Seen the Ghost of John?” is a familiar traditional Halloween song.
You can use this fun Halloween song as a scarf movement activity.
HAVE YOU SEEN THE GHOST OF JOHN?
LONG WHITE BONES WITH THE REST ALL GONE.
OOOOOOOOOOO
WOULDN’T IT BE CHILLY WITH NO SKIN ON?
Young children love to wave scarves around.
Scarf movement promotes gross motor muscle exercise, cross body movement for brain connections and opportunities for creativity.
Children learn through play. This scarf movement activity promotes creative play. Children can pretend to be scary ghosts and fly through the sky with their scarf.
Each line of the song has a different movement.
Play the song and have the children move freely to the music.
Pretend to be ghosts and wave scarves around, high, low, up and down.
Next, teach each line of the song. Have the children echo repeat the line to you.
Demonstrate the movement for that line. You can use the FREE RESOURCE, or create your own movements.
Practice together.
Repeat this for each of the lines.
Now you can put all the actions together.
Encourage the children to move freely.
After they can do all the movements, then have them create their own patterns.
Have the children share their ideas.
Sing and move with scarves over several classes for children to get the full experience.
