Do you remember the Halloween poems you learned as a kid? It’s a safe bet that you do! Rhyming poems stick with us, and most of us can even recite the Halloween poems we learned as youngsters … despite the fact that it’s been years. Read this poem to your children, and then for a memory exercise, wager that you can memorize it before they can.
Higgitly Piggilty, Spiders Fall
Higgilty, piggilty, spiders fall
Across the ceiling and down the wall.
Howlity, wowlity, witches fly
Around the moon in the autumn sky.
Screakity, creakity, owls all hoot
As children scramble about for loot.
Skippity, mippity off to bed,
Visions of Halloween in their heads.
