BOUNCE RHYME (bounce along with child in lap)
I Am a Snowman
I am a snowman, cold and white.
I stand up tall, all through the night.
(bounce up high)
With a carrot nose and head held high,
Two lumps of coal to make my eyes.
I have a muffler made of red,
And a tall black hat upon my head.
The sun is coming out! Oh, my!
I think that I am going to cry.
Yesterday, I was so big and round,
Now, I’m a puddle lying on the ground.
(swing child down low)
ACTION RHYMES
Melting Snowmen
Here’s a snowman round and fat
(make circle with arms)
Out comes the sun and melts his hat
(touch head)
Here’s a snowman with a scarf of red;
Out comes the sun and melts his head
(touch head)
Here’s a snowman, fit as a fiddle;
Out comes the sun and melts his middle
(touch stomach)
Here’s a snowman who waits for dawn;
Out comes the sun and he’s all gone!
Merry Snowflakes
Merry little snowflakes falling to the ground,
(fingers flutter life falling snow)
They’re landing on the treetops, covering our town.
They softly fall on noses
(touch nose)
And make our hair look white.
(touch hair)
They seem to call, ‘Come out and play!’
(‘come here’ motion)
As they fall throughout the night.
I’m a Friendly Snowman
(Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)
I’m a friendly snowman big and fat.
(Stretch arms out to the sides.)
Here is my tummy and here is my hat.
(Point to the tummy and top of the head.)
I’m a happy fellow, here’s my nose.
(Smile and point to nose)
I’m all snow from my head to my toes.
(Point to head and to toes.)
I have two bright eyes so I can see.
(Point to eyes.)
All the snow falling down on me.
(Wiggle fingers downward.)
When the weather’s cold I’m strong and tall.
(Stand up tall.)
But when it’s warm I get very small.
(Crouch down low.)
Chubby Little Snowman
A chubby little snowman
(Make a round shape with arms)
Had a carrot nose
(Point to nose.)
Along came a bunny
(Hold up two fingers to make a bunny.)
And what do you suppose?
(shrug shoulders)
That hungry little bunny
(rub tummy)
Looking for his lunch
(hand over eyes, looking)
Ate that little snowman’s nose
(Pretend to grab nose.)
Nibble nibble crunch!
(Pretend to eat carrot)
