Weigh a pumpkin

estimate the weights of the pumpkins. Weigh the pumpkins and compare their weight
to the guesses. You can also weigh ypur children and see if the are heavier

Five Little Pumpkins
The first one said "oh my its getting late," (hands on cheeks)
The second one said "there's a chill in the air," (hug self)
The third one said "but we don't care," (shrug)
The fourth one said "we're ready for some fun," (jump)
The fifth one said "lets run, run, run," (run in place)
So woo went the wind, and out went the lights,
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight (sit down).
