Please watch the video of Ms. Koplinka-Loehr singing the song "Old Woman All Skin and Bones," and sing along with her when she sings the "Ooh...ooh...ooh...ooh" part of the song. Once you have practiced the song, you can teach the song to someone else in your family or household if you would like! Finally, you can make up your own verse to the song--where else could the Old Woman go? What else could she hear? What else could she see? What else could she feel? Have fun singing and practicing our spooky October song, "Old Woman All Skin and Bones!"
Old Woman All Skin and Bones:
There was an old woman all skin and bones (Oo-oo-oo)
She lived on a hillside all alone (Oo-oo-oo)
One night she thought she’d take a walk (Oo-oo-oo)
She went to the graveyard around the block (Oo-oo-oo)
She looked down upon the ground (Oo-oo-oo)
She saw some bones a-lyin’ around (Oo-oo-oo)
She thought she’d go home to get a broom (Oo-oo-oo)
She pointed her feet towards her front room (Oo-oo-oo)
She crept onto her own front porch (Oo-oo-oo)
She saw the flickering of a torch (Oo-oo-oo)
She stepped across her living room floor (Oo-oo-oo)
She heard a sound she'd never heard before (Oo-oo-oo)
She felt something touch her hair (Oo-oo-oo)
She turned, but saw nothing there (Oo-oo-oo)
She put her hand on the closet door (Oo-oo-oo)
Again, that sound she’d never heard before (Oo-oo-oo)
She opened the door and then she saw (Oo-oo-oo)
A shadow of something...BOO!
