Looking for some indoor activities to brighten your spirits this holiday season? Try these rhymes! They provide a fun, interactive experience for both kids and parents, and they should help to get some of the excess energy out of the little ones who’ve had too many sugary treats!
Let’s All do a Little Clapping (Tune: We Wish You a Merry Christmas)
Let’s all do a little clapping
Let’s all do a little clapping
Let’s all do a little clapping
and spread our good cheer
continue with other actions like jumping, twirling, and dancing!
~Sunflower Storytime
Reindeer Pokey (Tune: Hokey Pokey)
You put your hooves in
You put your hooves out
You put your hooves in
and you shake ’em all about
You do the reindeer pokey
And you turn yourself around
That’s what it’s all about
continue with your antlers, red nose, and tail
~Laptime Songs
Snow on the Rooftops
Snow on the rooftops
Snow on the trees
Snow on the green grass
And snow on me
Snow on my mittens
Snow on my nose.
Snow on my head.
And snow on my toes
Twirling, swirling, whirling down
Down and down and down and down
~Kathy Reid-Naiman (from the album Sing the Cold Winter Away)
Remember, all branches of DBRL will be closed December 24 and 25 so that we library employees can have some quality time with our families. Happy holidays!
