15 Minutes : Play It : Snowman Song

image via here

My little girl is at the perfect age to sing songs with actions. Right now we sing this song about a snowman several times a day.

"Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman.
Once there was a snowman, tall, tall, tall.
(Move hands higher each time you sing tall and reach as high as you can.)
Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman.
Once there was a snowman, small, small. small."
(Get smaller each time you sing small until you are on the floor.)

An autumn variation of the familiar song:

The Leaves on The Tree
sung to: "The Wheels on The Bus"
Copyright © 2000, 2004 Barbara Pratt. All rights reserved.

The leaves on the tree are falling down,
falling down, falling down.
The leaves on the tree are falling down,
Red, yellow, orange, and brown.
(Note: Pretend to drop leaves from above your head as the color is mentioned in the song.)

The leaves on the ground go crunch, crunch, crunch,
crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch.
The leaves on the ground go crunch, crunch, crunch.
All through the fall.
(Note: Have the child/children pretend they are crunching leaves on the ground while singing this verse.)
