This song, perfect for singing at Halloween, is designed so kids can enjoy counting ghosts as they sing.

Starting with one ghost and gradually increasing, children use their hands and bodies to act it out—cleverly helping them learn number concepts and body movements naturally.

It’s a popular choice in nurseries and kindergartens, especially during the Halloween season.

In the final “surprise” part, raising their voices energetically really lifts the mood! It’s also great fun for parents and children to enjoy together.

How about trying a dance to “Show” sung by Ado, the song that’s become a staple of Universal Studios Japan’s Halloween Horror Nights? It’s a very popular track, so many kids have probably heard it.

In the video, the choreography for the chorus is the same as the routine actually performed at Universal Studios Japan.

The tempo is fast, so the moves can be challenging, but even simple choreography becomes more powerful when everyone’s movements are in sync.

Why not give it a try?
