(Echo words and movements story that works like a listening map for
the Toccata and Fugue in d minor by Johann Sebastian Bach)

Going to a Haunted House

Wanna come along?
ok
oops, I forgot my flashlight
I better go upstairs and get it.
(hands walk up stairs)


(Hands walking on legs)
Coming to a tree
can't go around it
I guess we have to climb it.
(hands climbing tree)
TALL tree
Ready to jump?
JUMP!

Coming to a bridge
Can't go around it
We'll have to go through it.
(hand beating over heart)
Long bridge.

Coming to a river
Can't go around it
We'll have to swim through it.
(swimming arms)
Watch out for the alligators!
(hands clap in front like alligator jaws)

Walking through the grass.
(slide hands up and down)
The tall tall grass.
Watch out for snakes!
Hurry through the grass!

Coming to the haunted house!
(hands walking on legs)
Boy! it sure looks scary!
You go inside!
No YOU go inside!
(creek open the door)
It's a box
a LONG LONG box.
YOU look inside!
No YOU look inside!
(Creek open the lid)
Boney toes!
Boney knees!
Boney fingers!
NO EYES!
It's a skeleton!
RUN!

(repeat corresponding movements above)
Run through the grass!
Swim through the river!
Go across the bridge!
Climb the tree!
JUMP!
Go upstairs!

Hide under the bed!
Shhh! I hear something!

You go look!
No YOU go look!

Boney toes!
Boney knees!
Boney fingers!

EEEEEK!
(blood curdling scream)
