Snowflake
Tune: I'm a little teapot
I'm a little snowflake white and round (hold arms up high to form a circle)

Snowflakes

Tall black hat and eyes of coal (point to head and eyes)
If the sun comes out today (hold arms up high to form circle)
I will watch him melt away! (flutter fingers downwards)
Christmas songs
Of course, I will sing the traditional Christmas carols such as Rudolph, Jingle bells, frosty the snowman and Santa Claus is coming to town, including musical instruments such as bells to sing with, but I have a few others I use as well shortly before the holidays to get the kids excited about Christmas.
Let's All
Tune: We wish you a merry Christmas
Have the kids do the actions with you
Let's all do a little clapping
Let's all do a little clapping
Let's all do a little clapping
and spread Christmas cheer
(change it up by jumping, twirling, stretching, stomping, bending, hopping etc)
Santa's coming
Tune: Are you sleeping
Santa's coming, Santa's coming
yes he is, yes he is
hear his sleigh bells ringing, hear his sleigh bells ringing
ding ding dong ding ding dong
Santa's coming, Santa's coming
yes he is, yes he is
Hear him laughing, hear him laughing
ho ho ho, ho ho ho
Santa song
Tune: I'm a little teapot
I'm a little Santa short and fat (hold arms in a circle)
Here is my beard and here is my sack (point to beard, and fling sack over shoulders)
on christmas eve, I hop in my sleigh (hop feet)
with a ho, ho, ho, I'm on my way! (say ho, ho, ho)
Reindeer Pokey
Tune: Hokey Pokey
use the same actions as the hokey pokey
You put your antlers in
you take your antlers out
you put your antlers in
and you shake them all about
you do the reindeer pokey and you turn yourself about
that's what it's all about, shout!
(continue with hooves, red nose, fluffy tail and reindeer body)
Ten Bells
Tune -Ten Little Indians
One bell, two bells, three Christmas bells.
Four bells, five bells, six Christmas bells.
Seven bells, eight bells, nine Christmas bells.
Ten Christmas bells to ring.
I'm A Little Pine Tree
Tune - I'm A Little Teapot
I'm a little pine tree- as you can see,
All the other pine trees are bigger than me.
Maybe when I grow up-then I'll be
A great big merry Christmas tree!
