(Tune: “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star“)
Thank You are the words we say,
Not just on Thanksgiving Day,
Thank You are the magic words
Say them loud so they are heard,
Thank You are the words we say,
We give thanks in many ways.

(Tune: “The Farmer In the Dell“)
The frost is on the roof
The frost is on the ground
The frost is on the window
The frost is all around
The frost is on the roof
(point hands over head)
The frost is on the ground
(point to the floor)
The frost is on the window
(make a window with your hands)
The frost is all around
(make large circles with hands)
(Tune: “Frere Jacques“)
Dance like snowflakes
Dance like snowflakes
In the air
In the air
Whirling, twirling, snowflakes
Whirling, twirling, snowflakes
Here and there
Here and there.

(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)
I’m a friendly snowman big and fat.
Here is my tummy and here is my hat.
I’m a happy fellow, here’s my nose.
I’m all snow from my head to my toes.
I have two bright eyes so I can see.
All the snow falling down on me.
When the weather’s cold I’m strong and tall.
But when it’s warm I get very small.
I’m a friendly snowman big and fat.
(stretch arms out to sides)
Here is my tummy and here is my hat.
(point to tummy, then top of head)
I’m a happy fellow, here’s my nose.
(smile, then point to nose)
I’m all snow from my head to my toes.
(point to head, then to toes)
I have two bright eyes so I can see.
(point to eyes)
All the snow falling down on me.
(flutter fingers downward)
When the weather’s cold I’m strong and tall.
(stand up all)
But when it’s warm I get very small.
(crouch down low)

5 Little Snowmen Standing Round My Door (with free printable)
Snowflakes, snowflakes falling down,
All around, on the ground.
Get the sled and climb so high.
Down we’ll go, slippety-slide!
Snowflakes, snowflakes falling down,
(flutter fingers downward.)
All around, on the ground.
(make spreading movement with hands.)
Get the sled and climb so high,
(walk fingers up arm.)
Down we’ll go, slippety-slide!
(slide hand down arm.)
I am a snowman made of snow
I stand quite still at Ten below.
With a big long carrot for a nose
And worn out shoes to make my toes
I have two apples for my eyes,
And a woolen coat about this size.
I have a scarf that’s warm and red.
And a funny hat upon my head.
The sun is coming out…… Oh dear!
The sun is melting me I fear
Oh my, I was so nice and round,
Now I’m just a puddle on the ground!
I am a snowman made of snow (stand still)
I stand quite still at Ten below.
With a big long carrot for a nose (point to nose)
And worn out shoes to make my toes (point to toes)
I have two apples for my eyes, (point to eyes)
And a woolen coat about this size. (measure with hands)
I have a scarf that’s warm and red. (wrap scarf around neck)
And a funny hat upon my head. (tap hands on head)
The sun is coming out…… Oh dear! (Look worried)
The sun is melting me I fear (slowly sink to floor)
Oh my, I was so nice and round,
Now I’m just a puddle on the ground! (sit or lay on floor)
(Tune: “I’m a Little Teapot“)
I’m a little snowman short and fat.
Here is my scarf and here is my hat.
When the snow is falling come and play.
Build a snowman every day.

Where did you get that little red nose?
Jack Frost kissed it I suppose.
He kissed it once. He kissed it twice.
Poor little nose it’s as cold as ice
(Tune: “Frere Jacques“)
Winter’s coming, Winters Coming.
It is Dark,
It is cold.
I am bundled snug and warm.
Animals sleep safe from harm.
Sleds and snow.
Cold winds blow.
