Halloween Poem

Either give each student 5 spider rings, or have them color and cut out 5 spiders.

Five little spiders coming in the door,
One stopped to spin a web, and then there were four.
Four little spiders climbing up a tree,
One stayed to play on a leaf, and then there were three.
Three little spiders help to stir the brew,
One fell in then there were two.
Two little spiders playing in the sun,
One went to look for shade, and then there was one.
One little spider is really quite a sight
(cover the spider tissue paper so he looks like a ghost)
dressed in his costume on Halloween night. Boo!

The students have fun saying the poem with you. I like to write the poem on large paper so the kids can follow along.
