Winter Holidays

Snowflakes
(tune of "London Bridge")
Remember the actions for "Autumn Leaves are Falling Down"?--This one is the same...

Snowflakes whirling all around
All around, all around.
Snowflakes whirling round and round
Falling to the ground

Here is the Chimney

Here is the chimney (Make fist enclosing thumb)
Here is the top. (Place other hand on top of fist)
Open the lid (Remove top hand)
And out Santa will pop! (Pop up thumb)

Dreidel Song
(tune of "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star")
The kids put their arms out and spin.
By the time they finish the song, they probably won't need to fake the falling part...

Dreidel Spinning round and round
You spin fast and then fall down.
You go fast and then go slow.
Wibble-wobble down you go.
Dreidel Spinning round and round
You spin fast and then fall down.

Gingerbread Men

(tune of "Six little ducks"--the "Oh! Oh!" is spoken)
5 gingerbread men in a row Wasn’t gonna eat one, No! No! No! But he looked so good From his head to his toe That… Munch! Crunch! Oh! Oh!	Hold up 5 fingers Shake finger Point to head Point to toes Clap! Clap! Cover mouth as though surprised.
Continue to count down till there are no gingerbread men left. Then sing:
No gingerbread men in a row Wasn't gonna eat them, No! No! No! But they looked so good From their heads to their toes That... Munch! Crunch! Oh!Oh! And now I have a tummy ache!
