Winter Fun

We don't have lots of winter going on out here in California. It's been crazy warm.  But the kids still love to sing and dream about snowmen and snowflakes!  And we played with some great pretend snow, I found the recipe at Mommas Fun World!  

5 LITTLE SNOWMEN 

This song is fun for the kids, especially if you have the "5 little snowmen" (snowman foam stickers on popsicle sticks).  After singing it together a while they like holding the snowmen and taking turns saying the different lines.  I have 5 children at a time stand in front of the class to act it out.  Of course you can just act it out with your fingers or draw snowmen and use the drawings to hold up in front of their faces as they sing.  

5 Little snowmen sitting on a gate

The 1st one said, "It's getting late"

The 2nd one said, "I think it's going to snow"

The 3rd one said, "Good, that will make us grow"

The 4th one said, "Snow makes everything white"

The 5th one said, "Let's have a snowball fight!"

Then whoosh went the wind, and out went the lights, and the 5 little snowmen enjoyed their snowy night!

SNOWFLAKES ONE BY ONE

One little snowflake with nothing to do,

Along came another and then there were two.

Two little snowflakes playing in a tree

Along came another and then there were three.

Three little snowflakes looking for some more,

Along came another and then there were four.

Four little snowflakes that finally did arrive,

Along came another, and then there were five.

Five little snowflakes having so much fun,

Out came the sun, and then there were none!

FIVE LITTLE SNOWFLAKES

Five little snowflakes dancing here and there

Then one little snowflake blew away in the air!

Four little snowflakes dancing here and there

Then one little snowflake blew away in the air!

Three little snowflakes dancing here and there

Then one little snowflake blew away in the air!

Two little snowflakes dancing here and there

Then one little snowflake blew away in the air!

One little snowflake dancing here and there

Then that little snowflake blew away in the air!

Zero little snowflakes, not one to be found

Cause five little snowflakes have fallen to the ground!

(You can act this out in many ways.  The kids can use their hands to be the snowflakes dancing.  They can use their whole body to be a dancing snowflake. Or I have some felt snowflakes that we use as we sing and throw in the air when we sing "blew away in the air" and so by the end of the song all the felt snowflakes are on the ground, just like the song says :))
