Tune: My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean
In winter I put on my jacket, In winter I put on my hat, In winter I put on my boots (or mittens), And go out to play just like that. (Chorus) Grey skies, bare trees, Oh winter's the season for me, for me, Raindrops dripping down my back - Yes, winter's the season for me! I splash and splash in all the puddles, I stick out my tongue to catch snow, My socks are all squishy with water, My goodness, I can't feel my toes! (Chorus) Sung to: "Frere Jacques" Dance like snowflakes Dance like snowflakes In the air In the air Whirling, twirling, snowflakes Whirling, twirling, snowflakes Here and there Here and there. Sung to: "Sailing, Sailing" Snowflakes, snowflakes Falling to the ground. Each one rest so gently They never make a sound. Snowflakes, snowflakes Are so pure and white. The special thing about them is No two are alike. I'm a little snow person, Short and fat Here are my buttons, And here is my hat. When the snow comes out, I cannot stay. Slowly I just melt away-y-y-y A chubby little snowman Had a carrot nose. Along came a bunny, And what do you suppose? That hungry little bunny, Looking for his lunch. Ate that snowman's carrot nose, Nibble, nibble, crunch!! Five little snowmen standing in a row, They each have a hat, And a big red bow When the sun shines Where will they go? They melt, melt, melt, melt, melt... Warm hands, warm Do you know how? If you want to warm your hands, Warm your hands right now. (Discuss various ways to warm hands). Where did you get that little red nose? (Point to nose) Jack frost kissed it I suppose (kissing noise) He kissed it once (hold up one finger) And he kissed it twice (hold up 2 fingers) Poor little nose is cold as ice! (Pretend to shiver) Sung to: "Hokey Pokey" You put your right mitten in, you take your right mitten out, you put your right mitten in and you shake it all about. You do the snowkey pokey and you turn yourself around. That's what it's all about. Way up high in the snowy tree Lots of little snowflakes smiled at me. I shook that tree as hard as I could. Down came the snowflakes Oh, were they cold! Sung to: Sing a Song of Sixpence Sing a song of winter, Frost is in the air, Sing a song of winter, Snowflakes everywhere, Sing a song of winter, Hear the sleighbells chime, Can you think of anything, As nice as winter time? Let's go walking in the snow/rain Walking, walking, on tiptoe. Lift your one foot way up high, Then the other to keep it dry. All around the yard we skip, Watch your step or you might slip (pretend to fall) Sung to: "Deck the Halls" Do you hear the pitter-patter? Hear the raindrops falling down. Can you see the splashing water? All the raindrops on the ground. Time to get our big umbrellas we don't want to get our hair all wet. If you wear your boots and raincoat, we will go outside and splash a bit! Have you seen my mittens? I've looked everywhere. I looked behind the closet, And underneath the chair. I looked inside my backpack, And in the back seat of the car, They were here just yesterday, They can't have gone too far. "Will you help me find my mittens?" (Teacher has previously hidden real or paper mittens around the room. Children look for them, then try to find who has the matching mittens.) "Ode to an Umbrella" Umbrella you're amazing, You're such a useful thing, You keep us dry when it rains or snows, Whatever the weather brings. First you're closed, then open wide, The rain cannot get through, You're so clever, umbrella dear, What other things can you do? (Lead the children in a creative discussion about other things an umbrella could be used for.) It's raining, it's pouring, The weather's really storming, I looked out the window and I shook my head, 'Cause I couldn't go out to play, HEY! |
