My son loved and still loves the Five Little Pumpkins. We read the book so often when he was little that we both memorized all of the words. Recently I was working with some of my students on a writing assignment using lines from the Five Little Pumpkins. I supplied the subject Five Little Pumpkins. They had to come up with a predicate for each sentence. Many of them said they knew that book or song. Guess what? They shared many different lines with me. ( Some of them their own.)

I decided to see how many different Five Little Pumpkins songs I could find. We learned the Tiger Tales version of Five Little Pumpkins. Below you will find our version and a few others.
Five Little Pumpkins (The version we know!)
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, “We are ready for some fun!”
Then OOOhh OOOhh went the wind
And out went the lights
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight.

It is a lot of fun to illustrate a favorite song, rhyme, or book. We illustrated the song Over in the Meadow with Duplo awhile ago. It thought it would be fun to illustrate the Five Little Pumpkins with LEGO. As each line was read a pumpkin was taken off the fence. The pictures shared in this post show you just what our base plate looked like as we went through the song from our book.
I hope you will share one of these versions of the Five Little Pumpkins with your children. I bet they would love illustrating it with LEGO
