Holiday Bells

Flannel Friday is having a "Holiday Extravaganza."  It is hosted by Library Quine at http://loonsandquines.blogspot.com/

Here is my contribution:

"Holiday Bells"

One silver bell rings out loud and clear,

Calls for another so that more can hear.

Two silver bells make a joyful noise,

Call for another to ring for girls and boys.

Three silver bells ring out holiday cheer,

Call for another to be heard far and near.

Four silver bells make a merry sound,

Call for another to be heard all around.

Five silver bells ring throughout the land -

May there be peace on earth and goodwill to man.

Notes:  The word "little" can be substituted for "silver" if you don't want to make your bells all silver.  I used a silver marker to color in the clip art bell I selected.  (Mine is from Microsoft Publisher.)  I added a bit of ribbon to make it festive,

One Little Ghost

One little ghost, waiting to yell boo,
Calls for a friend, so now there are two.
Two little ghosts, hiding in a tree,
Call for a friend, so now there are three.
Three little ghosts decide they need more,
Call for a friend, so now there are four.
Four little ghosts, ready to swoop and dive,
Call for a friend and now there are five.
Five little ghosts, hidden from sight,
Jump out at trick-or-treaters to give them a fright.
One, two, three, four, five - “Boo!”

This Halloween rhyme can be used with flannel/magnet board figures or with finger puppets.

Boo!
