Record cold temps mean we had to cancel family music class this week. It also means that we are stuck inside with the little ones. Hopefully these songs will give you a little taste of music this week! (Apparently I only blog about snow songs… because I already had a post with two of these songs. Hmmm. I added videos for you this time!)
Snowflakes
(tune of twinkle twinkle)
Snowflakes snowflakes all around
(hands twinkle down like snow)
In the air and on the ground
(Reach up, then down)
Some are big and some are small
(Stretch BIG, then small)
Roll them into a snowball
(Roll arms)
When the sun comes out to play
(make a sun with your arms)
Watch as they all melt a-way
(melt to the ground!)
5 Snowman Chant / Fingerplay
Five little snowmen On a winter’s day
The first one said Wake up so we can play
The second one said Let’s stomp on the ground
The third one said Let’s roll around
The fourth one said Let’s run and run and run
The fifth one said I’m afraid I feel the sun
Oh Dear, cried the snowmen As they looked toward the sky
And the five melting snowmen Waved good-bye
Bumping Up and Down on My Sled
Suck inside on a cold day? Take your little one for an indoor sled ride!
Bumping up and down on my sled
Bumping up and down on my sled
Bumping up and down on my sled
Won’t you be my darling?
Other verses:
Side to side …
Going fast …
Going slow …
You can even do this one as a knee bounce. Have fun with it!
