Penguins Having Fun

To tune of: Twinkle, Twinkle

Penguins, penguins having fun,

Waddling in the winter sun,

Waddling fast & waddling slow,

Waddling to & waddling fro,

Penguins, penguins having fun,

Waddling in the winter sun.

Watch the Snowflakes

(flutter hands)

Watch the snowflakes, watch the snowflakes

Floating down, floating down

Oh, so very slowly

Oh, so very slowly

All the way down
(hands at sides)

To the ground

Ten Little Mittens

(count on fingers, 10 to 1)

Ten warm mittens, hanging on the line,
One blows away and then there are nine.

Nine warm mittens, one without a mate,
A squirrel carries one away and that leaves eight.

Eight warm mittens, just eight not eleven,
One gets buried in the snow and that leaves seven.

Seven warm mittens, which one do you pick?
I'll pick the red one and that leaves six.

Six warm mittens, put one on to try.
Then you take it from the line and that leaves five.

Five warm mittens, we had ten before!
A fluffy bunny needs one and that leaves four!

Four warm mittens, two for you and two for me,
I lost one on the ski slope and that leaves three.

Three warm mittens, looking very new,
One falls into the mud and that leaves two.

Two warm mittens, drying in the sun,
A bird comes down and snatches it and that leaves one.

One warm mitten, what good is one?
A little mouse can have a bed, and that leaves none!

Dressing for Winter

(Perform Actions indicated by Rhyme)

This is how we dress on a cold Winter's day.

We put on our snowsuits to go out to play.

Then we put on our boots for walking in the snow.

Next, our hats and our mittens,

'Cause the wind begins to blow.

And now we're all ready to go out and play.

We'll stay nice and warm on this cold Winter day.

Snow Swirling Around

Snow, snow swirling round,
(Move hands in circular motion)

Falling to the ground,
(Kneel down)

What a pretty sight you make,
(Cup hands over eyes and look right and left)

Dancing all around.
(Turn and dance in circles)

Snow, snow swirling round,
(Move hands in circular motions)

Flying through the air,
(Wave arms)

What a pretty sight you make,
(Cup hands over eyes and look right and left)

Dancing everywhere.

Five Snowmen

Five Little Snowmen standing in a row,

They each have a hat,
(hands on head)

and a big red bow
(hands on neck)

When the sun shines
(circle arms around head)

Where will they go?
(shrug shoulders)

They melt, melt, melt, melt, melt...
(sink down to floor)

Bear Family

Big mama brown bear
Knows just when
To make her winter home
in a warm cozy den.

She sleeps on some leaves
while it's cold outside
but before spring arrives
her cubs are born inside.

When the cold winter ends,
and it's a warm spring day, mama bear looks for food
while the little cubs play.

Here's a Little Groundhog

To tune of: I'm a Little Teapot

Here's a little groundhog,
furry and brown,
He's popping up
to look around.
If he sees his shadow,
down he'll go.
Then six more weeks of winter
- oh, no!

Snowman Fingerplay

One little snowman short and fat,
Wearing a scarf and a big black hat.
He has two eyes so he can see,
And also a smile, just for me.
Two sticks for arms,
And a carrot nose,
Buttons down the front,
Almost to his toes.
When the weather is cold,
He stands up tall.
But when the sun comes out,
It makes him very small.

All the Leaves

 All the leaves are falling down
(flutter fingers downward)

Orange, green, red, and brown.
(flutter fingers)

If you listen, you'll hear them say,
(cup hands around ears)

"Wintertime is on it's way."
(whispering)

Pack a Snowball

Pack a snowball.
Make it round.
Roll it, roll it, along the ground.
Make one big ball, and one of middle size;
Then roll a smaller ball. Add a nose and eyes.
Give him a broom and a scarf of blue.
Now there's a friend to play with you! (point)

Snowman, Snowman

 Tune: Twinkle Twinkle Little Star

Snowman, snowman, where did you go?
I built you yesterday out of snow.
I built you high and I built you fat.
I put on eye and nose and a hat.
And now you're gone - all melted away.
But it's sunny outside, so I'll go and play.

5 Little Snowmen

Five little snowmen round and fat.
Each one wearing a funny hat.
In the morning, out came the sun.
It looked down and melted one.
 

Repeat with 4,3,2,1 snowmen

Boot Prints

Up and down the yard we go
Making boot prints in the snow

Big steps, little steps
Around and around
Oh what fun with snow on the ground!

Black boots, white boots
Red boots bright
Isn't it strange our boot prints are white?

Dance Around the Snowman

 Tune: Mulberry Bush

This is the way
we dance around
dance around, dance around,
This is the way
We dance around
Our snowman in the morning 

This is the way
We skip around,
Skip around, Skip around
This is the way
We skip around
Our snowman in the morning 

This is the way
We twirl around,
Twirl around, twirl around
This is the way
We twirl around
Our snowman in the morning.

Snow is Falling

 Tune: Jingle Bells

Snow is falling, Snow is falling,
Some fell on my toes.
Snow is falling, Snow is falling,
Some fell on my nose.
Snow is falling, Snow is falling,
Some fell on my head.
Snow is falling, Snow is falling,
Let's go get the sled!

A Sledding We will go

 
Tune: A Hunting we will go

A sledding we will go, A sledding we will go, We'll hold on tight and sit just right As down the hill we go......WHEE! 

A skating we will go, A skating we will go, We'll twirl around and not fall down As over the ice we go! 

A skiing we will go, A skiing we will go We'll stop when we get to the Mountain top (Pause) Then down the mountain we'll go.....Swoosh!

Snow is Falling on the Ground

Tune: This Old Man

Snow is falling on the ground
We can make things all around
Like snowmen, snowballs
Snow forts, too.
There are lots of things to do.
Snow is falling come and see
You can have some fun with me
Sliding, skating, skiing, too,
There are lots of things to do.

I made a Snow Friend

 

Tune: I saw Three Ships 

I made a snow friend out of snow
One winter day, one winter day.
 
I made a snow friend out of snow
One winter day in the morning. 

I rolled a snowball big as could be
One winter day, one winter day.

I rolled a snowball big as could be
One winter day in the morning. 

I made another one, smaller you see,
One winter day, one winter day.

I made another one, smaller you see,
One winter day in the morning. 

I rolled one more; now I had three

One winter day, one winter day.

And stacked them up as quick as could be
One winter day in the morning. 

I added a nose and two eyes to see
One winter day, one winter day.

I gave him a mouth. He said, "Hi!" to me
One winter day in the morning.

I will build a Snowman

I will build a snowman 

(pretend to build a snowman)

make him big and tall 

(pretend to pile snow on top)

See if you can hit him
with a big snowball 

(pretend to throw snowballs..)
