What’s big and orange and grows on the ground?
Why, pumpkins, of course!  It’s that time of year when they start popping up everywhere, including classrooms.  Many schools hold pumpkin-decorating contests, which I always loved as a child.  Our students love decorating pumpkins, both actual and on paper.  

Pumpkins have many uses during the fall season, many of which can be incorporated into classroom activities.  The song I wrote, "Pumpkin, Pumpkin", features several of them:

  •    Pumpkin picking
  •    Carving Jack-O’-Lanterns
  •    Making pumpkin pie
  •    Roasting pumpkin seeds

I use this song both as a precursor to those activities, and just for fun while students are drawing or decorating pumpkins.  What are your favorite pumpkin songs?
