Five Little Pumpkins – Free Rhyme Booklet
When October comes around, my boys love to chant the Five Little Pumpkins rhyme. It’s such a cute little rhyme for Halloween. My 2-year-old learned it this year and it is the cutest thing to hear him recite the whole poem! Today I am sharing with you a fun little booklet I created using this poem. 
For those of you who have never heard the poem, here is how it goes:
Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate.
The first one said, “Oh my, it’s getting late!”
The second one said, “There are witches in the air.”
The third one said, “But we don’t care.”
The fourth one said, “Let’s run and run and run.”
The fifth one said, “I’m ready for some fun!”
Ooooooooo went the wind and out went the lights.
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.
The booklet I created is 9 pages long. This booklet would be good for children learning to read. Even if they know the poem already, they can practice reading it with a caregiver or teacher.
And because I’m a huge fan of mums and pumpkins, I have to show you this picture of my preschooler with his booklet on our porch.
I created a color version and a black & white version of the booklet. The black & white version would be great for kids to color! The pumpkin graphics are slightly different in this version because I couldn’t find the same black & white clip art. It’s still cute!
After you print the booklet, simply cut on the lines and staple the pages together.
You can download the free printable below:

And if you’d like to download the version of this poem that replaces the word “witches” for “leaves”, you can find the color version here —> 5 Little Pumpkins – leaves version
If you are a teacher and you want two pages per sheet (to make it easier for cutting!), you can download that version here —>Â Five Little Pumpkins – double
Hope you enjoy using this free booklet! I’d love to hear how you use it with your classroom or child.
Hi! This is beautiful work. Where’s is the link to the 5 little pumpkins book in black and white?
Thanks! It is found at the bottom portion of the printable – https://teachingmama.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/5-Little-Pumpkins-Booklets.pdf
This was one of the favorites every fall with my preschool classes. I had forgotten all about it. Now that I am a grandma with 3 of my grandkids across the country, I am always trying to think of things to do with them remotely on our video chats. I saw this and remembered how much the kids loved it and immediately decided to download the booklet and send it to California. Then after they have received it, I can do the poem with them on the next video chat.
Thanks for bringing this favorite back to the front of my mind.
Thank you very much for this booklet. This rhyme is one of my favourites. Creative pages with graphics of the pumpkins etc.
This is absolutely adorable! This booklet is also great for practicing rhyming and ordinal numbers. Printed one for my first grade son. I think he will really like this.
I love this book but printing color copies for my whole class would be too expensive. Ive been looking for the poem to send home with my kids. Could you make a black and white version for the ids to color?
I really wish I had that option! I don’t and the original file got erased from my computer on accident so I can’t change it. I hope to make a black and white version next year. You can try printing it in greyscale, but I know it’s not the best option. Thanks for understanding!
