It is winter and it's time to ride a sled! It is winter that's the season! We don't need a better reason! It is winter and it's time to ride a sled! Contact_FullName: Lisa Contact_Email: thescotts@bmts.com Area: winter-songs Idea: Teaching little ones to "zipper" is a trying task especially when winter comes and you're getting ready to go out to play in the snow. During circle, choose a child's coat. Show them the two parts of the zipper, the insert (the baby's feet) and the zipper (the Bed), and practice zippering using this poem. Put the baby's feet in the bottom of the bed and pull the covers right over his head. This usually takes a few times for them to catch on but you will find them repeating the poem to you or parents. 2-5-01Here's one my kids love! The day is cloudy and the wind is bold. Dress up warmly, you mustn't
get cold! (Act out each line, indicating the various body part the article belongs on) =0)

Date: 4-1-00This snowman song is sung to the song "5 little pumpkins", I just changed some of the words. 5 little snowmen sitting on the ground, (pat
hands on floor) note: I made 5 sets of snowmen
out of tag board and glued on Popsicle sticks. Each set were wearing the
same colored hats and scarves (2 red, 2 blue, 2 green, 2 blue, 2 yellow).
I gave 5 kids a snowman to hold during the song and make dance and had the
other 5 on the floor (kids that did not have a snowman to hold did the
actions to the song). At the end of the song the children with the snowmen
came up and told me the color and matched it to the correct one on the
floor. Repeat song till everyone has had a turn holding a snowman.
