SNOW SONGS & RHYMES
COLD SNOWMANOut in the yard, I saw a snowmanWho was cold as cold could be.I gave him a hat and a bright red scarfBut he still looked cold to me. So I build a big bonfireTo last through the night.But in the morningHe was no where in sight!
Jean Warren
DID YOU EVER SEE JACK FROST?Tune: “Did You Ever See A Lassie?”
Did you ever see Jack Frost, Jack Frost, Jack Frost?Did you ever see Jack Frost painting things white?
When the temperatures cold, he gets oh so bold.Did you ever see Jack Frost painting at night?
IT IS SNOWINGTune: “Frere Jacques” It is snowing, it is snowing,Falling down, falling down.Winter winds are blowing,Drifts are slowing growing,All around, all around.
COUNTING SNOWFLAKES
Two snowflakes fell last night.The start of a blanket, fluffy and white.Then came three, then came four.Beautiful flakes, then more and more.
Down, down the snowflakes fellI counted and counted flakes, until -The yard was covered, the house was, too.A winter wonderland, that started with two!
WINTER FINGERPLAYClimb, climb, climb - up the hill of snow. (Let fingers walk up your arm or bent leg.)Jump on our sleds - down we go. Weeee! (Let fingers slide down your arm or leg.)
THE SNOW IS FALLINGTune: "The Farmer In the Dell"
The snow is falling down,The snow is falling down,Heigh ho, fast then slow,The snow is falling down.
The yards are covered with snow,The yards are covered with snow,Heigh ho, just watch it snow,The yards are covered with snow.
(Continue with other places the snow might fall on; such as, the streets, the cars, the houses, me.)
PRETTY SNOWFLAKESTune: "London Bridges"
Pretty snowflakes falling down,Falling down, falling down.Pretty snowflakes falling downAll through the town.
Pretty snowflakes, on the street,On the grass, on my feet.Pretty snowflakes falling downAll through the town.
IT IS SNOWINGTune: "Frere Jacques"
Cold winds blowing,It is snowing.But I don't careI don't care.I am snug inside.I am snug inside.Let it snow.Let it blow.
I WILL BUILD A SNOWMANI will build a snowman.I'll make him big and tall,Then I'll try to hit himWith a big snowball!
Adapted Traditional
A FUNNY LITTLE SNOWMANA funny little snowmanHad a carrot nose.Along came a rabbitAnd what do you suppose?
That hungry little rabbitLooking for his lunch,Ate that snowman's noseWith a crunch, crunch, crunch!
I'M A LITTLE SNOWMANTune: "I'm A Little Teapot"
I'm a little snowmanShort and fat,Here are my buttons,Here is my hat.
When the sun comes out,I run awayBefore I slowlyMelt away!
I LOVE SNOWTune: "Three Blind Mice" I love snow, I love snow.Soft white snow, soft white snow.It falls on the ground so soft and white.Sometimes it falls all through the night.Did you ever see such a beautiful sight,As soft white snow?
