Songs and rhymes to share:

The Snowman:

A chubby little snowman (make round tummy with arms)

With a carrot nose (point to nose)

Along came a rabbit (hold up two fingers like ears & make rabbit hop)

And what do you suppose?

That hungry little bunny (rub tummy)

Looking for his lunch (pretend to look around)

Ate that little snowman's nose (point to nose)

Nibble, nibble, CRUNCH! (nibbling motion with hand & clap loudly on CRUNCH!)

 

Five Little Snowmen (count to zero)

Five little snowmen (hold up 5 fingers)

Standing in a row

Each with a hat (touch head)

And a big red bow! (tie bow under chin)

Out came the sun (arms circle)

And it stayed all day

And one little snowman (hold up one finger)

Melted away (finger bends down)

 

Building a Snowman

First the body, then the head (pretend to make snowman)

A big black hat and a scarf of red  (point to head and wrap scarf)

Coal pieces for eyes, a carrot nose (point to eyes, then nose)

And a mouth of pebbles in a smiling row!  (smile and point to mouth)

 

Sledding  (sing to Row Row Row Your Boat)

Crunch, crunch,  (walk fingers up arm)

Crunch, crunch, crunch

Up the hill so slow

Sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding  (slide hand down arm)

Down the hill we go!

 

Snowflakes

Snowflakes whirling all around,  (flutter fingers over head)

All around, all around

Snowflakes whirling all around

Until they land upon the ground  (flutter fingers to the floor)

 

Snow

It's Snowing! It's Snowing! (flutter fingers)

How the wind does blow (sway arms)

Snowflakes falling from the sky (flutter fingers)

One landed on my nose! (touch nose)

 

I'm an Icicle

I am a frozen icicle

Hanging in the sun (stand straight)

 

First I start to melt,

Then I start to run (sag body)

Drip, drip, drip, drip,

Melting can be fun! (sink to floor)

 

Five Little Snowmen Riding on a Sled

Five little snowmen riding on a sled (hold up five fingers – lay them on your palm "sled")

One fell off and bumped his head (one finger falls off – rub head)

I called Frosty and Frosty said (talk on pretend telephone)

"No more snowmen riding on a sled!" (shake finger "no")

Four little snowmen ….

End with…

Tell those snowmen it’s time to freeze (or melt) instead! (pretend to freeze / melt)

 

Snow Is Falling

The snow is falling down (flutter fingers - sing down the scale)

Hushhhhh (touch floor gently)

The snow is falling down (flutter fingers - sing down the scale)

Hushhhhh (touch floor gently)

Whisper Whisper Whisper Whisper (flutter fingers)

The snow is falling down (flutter fingers - sing down the scale)

Hushhhhh (touch floor gently)

 

The more it snows  By A.A. Milne

The more it snows

Tiddly Pom

The more it goes

Tiddly Pom

The more it goes

Tiddly Pom

On Snowing

And nobody knows

Tiddly Pom

How cold my toes

Tiddly Pom

How cold my toes

Tiddly Pom

Are growing

 

Snowflakes Dance Around   (sing to "Twinkle Twinkle")

Snowflakes snowflakes dance around (twirl around)

Snowflakes snowflakes touch the ground (touch the ground)

Snowflakes snowflakes in the air (arms up)

Snowflakes snowflakes everywhere (wave arms around)

Snowflakes snowflakes dance around (twirl around)

Snowflakes snowflakes touch the ground (touch the ground)
