| Spooky the Ghost - A "rap" fun performance poem for several children. | |

A poem for several children to take part in This is a "rap" poem - a performance poem and local children I know say it's "cool" - which I guess is teen-talk for OK. I can imagine them with sheets over their heads, and chains to rattle etc - and even the audience can click their fingers and sway and join in with the whooooohooo's between verses. This poem was never meant to stay on the pages of a book. I would aim this poem at children from 7 or 8 upwards. It may be a bit scary for very young children. I've tried to vary the words for "ghost" and brought in lots of assorted adjectives to help with vocabulary extension. Teachers should get a lot from this for their English lesson, and it's a poem children can use to copy the style in a poem of their own on a subject dear to their hearts. Are you ready to click your fingers? One, two - one two three four - - - Sound recording of this poem (including rattling of chains, ha ha) - http://www.whiteheadm.co.uk/html/spooky.html#spooky Well worth listening to for a laugh.
Whooohoooo!
The doors will strangely open entirely on their own I’ll be hiding in the dark – you may hear a little moan. I walk through brick walls and float high in the air. I'd never steal your sweeties - no, that wouldn't be fair!
Whooohoooo!
Whooohoooo!
Whooohoooo!
