Christmas Concert

I am starting to plan for the Christmas Concert which is taking place on December 13th! We have a lot to do, but I am VERY excited!  Here is a list of the finger plays/songs that the K4 class will be learning:  

"Oh, It's Cold Outside": Music to "Baby It's Cold Outside"

I really can't stay – Oh but it's cold outside

I've got to go home – Oh but it's cold outside
This school day has been...
So very fun...
We made our Christmas Cards...
And our lists for Santa too...
So really I'd better be good...
Well maybe just a candy cane or two...

But Santa might think – Oh but it's cold outside
Too many sweets - Oh but its cold outside
I wish I knew how...
To break the spell...
I ought to say no, no, no...
I really can't stay...
Oh, but it's cold outside


"Eight Little Reindeer":  The K4 class read and memorized the Book "Five Little Monkeys, and also saw the "Five Little Monkeys" First Stage performance of the play.  This finger-play is a fun Christmas version for the students that I know they will absolutely adore! :)


Eight little reindeer pulling Santa's sled
One fell down and bumped his head.
The elves called Santa and Santa said,
"Can seven little reindeer pull my sled?"
Seven little reindeer...
Six little reindeer...
Five little reindeer...
Four little reindeer...
Three little reindeer...
Two little reindeer...
One little reindeer pulling Santa's sled;
He fell down and bumped his head.
The elves called Santa and Santa said,
"Call Rudolph!"


"Reindeer Pokey": Sung to the tune of "The Hokey Pokey":


You put your antlers in.
You put your antlers out.
You put you antlers in and you shake them all about.
You do the Reindeer Pokey and you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
You put your hooves in....
You put your red nose in....
You put your fluffy tail in...
You put your reindeer body in...


"We Wish You a Merry Christmas": A Christmas Tradition for the K4 Students to sing this Christmas Classic!

We wish you a Merry Christmas 
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas 
And a Happy New Year.
We wish you a Merry Christmas 
We wish you a Merry Christmas 
We wish you a Merry Christmas

Goog tidings we bring
To you and your kin
Good tidings for christmas
And a happy new year.

We wish you a Merry Christmas
 We wish you a Merry Christmas 
We wish you a Merry Christmas 
And a Happy New Year.
Goog tidings we bring
To you and your kin
Good tidings for christmas
And a happy new year.

We wish you a Merry Christmas 
We wish you a Merry Christmas 
We wish you a Merry Christmas
