ACTIVITIES FOR EVERYONE TO ENJOY!
Here are the lyrics and suggested actions to the song “Five Little Snowmen” from the second February podcast.
FIVE LITTLE SNOWMEN
Look out the window, see our men made out of snow.
(put your hand on forehead as if looking)
Five little snowmen standing in a row.
(point to each snowman in the row)
From behind a little cloud, the sun came out to play,
(use your arms to show a big sun shape)
And one little snowman melted clean away.
(melt to the ground)
I have also used this song with a group of children where five children are the snowmen, one is the cloud and one child is the sunshine that goes around the snowman who melts. With a big group of children, the rest can perform the actions above, showing melting just with their hands rather than their whole body. It is very popular.
Here is the melody. There is a short introduction:
MITTENS
You can download, print and color a pair of mittens. I wonder what your mittens will look like? If you listened to the story in the podcast MITTENS, you know Flora’s old mittens were green, but she chose something different for her new mittens. Send me a picture of the mittens you color. I would love to see what YOU choose.
SQUIRREL
Here is the first verse of a song from the podcast SQUIRREL. Jared sings:
Up, up, up the Maple tree the little grey squirrel ran.
Down, down, down the Maple tree the little grey squirrel ran.
Can you think of a different kind of tree to put in the song?
Here’s a picture of the squirrel and the sunflower that inspired the podcast called SQUIRREL. Anneliese sings the first part of a song on this podcast. Sing along, and then think of some different flower names you can sing. Just click on the arrow.
GRANFATHER CLOCK
In our last podcast for September, Alex and Bethany sing about a grandfather clock. Here is a picture of one. You can download it and color it if you like.
Here is a song from one of the podcasts for September. Teri sings “Rain, Rain, Go Away” and then you can put your own name in the song.
