Halloween Song: Cinco Calabazas

 

This song is perfect to review feelings and emotions. I love teaching it to my second graders.
I cut out five paper pumpkins so the children can show their faces (see picture above). They each pick a feeling in the song, while the rest of the class chants/sings the song. Each child has to show the face that matches the feeling they picked. They love doing it over and over again and have a lot of fun seeing their friends’ facial expressions.

Cinco calabazas sentadas en su casa,

una calabaza se siente muy cansada.
 
Cuatro calabazas sentadas en su casa,
una calabaza se siente asustada.
 
Tres calabazas sentadas en su casa,
una calabaza se siente enojada.
 
Dos calabazas sentadas en su casa,
una calabaza se siente muy frustrada.
 
Una calabaza sentada en su casa,
una calabaza se siente sorprendida.
 
Cinco calabazas sentadas en su casa,
y cuando sale el sol se sienten muy felices.
