Hello, Hello

If I was a Bird

If I was a bird,
I’d flap my wings all day (flap arms)
If I was a bird,
I’d flap my wings all day
Flap my wings all day
If I was a bird
 
If I was an elephant
I’d swing my trunk all day (swing arm)
If I was an elephant
I’d swing my trunk all day
Swing my trunk all day
If I was an elephant
 
If I was a kangaroo,
I’d hop and hop all day (jump)
If I was a kangaroo,
I’d hop and hop all day
hop and hop all day
If I was a kangaroo
 
If I was a monkey
I’d swing from branch to branch (swing arms back and forth)
If I was a monkey
I’d swing from branch to branch
Swing from branch to branch
If I was a monkey
 
If I was a snake
I’d slither in the grass all day (put hands together and wave your “snake” slowly side to side)
If I was a snake
I’d slither in the grass all day
Slither in the grass all day
If I was a snake
 
If I was a cheetah
I’d run really fast all day (run in place)
If I was a cheetah
I’d run really fast all day
Run really fast all day
If I was a cheetah

Jingle Bells

Once There was a Snowman

Once there was a snowman, snowman, snowman
Once there was a snowman, tall, tall, tall!
In the sun he melted, melted, melted
In the sun he melted small, small, small.

My Hands Say Goodbye

Three Little Snowmen

3 little snowmen standing in a row
Each had two eyes and a carrot for a nose
Out came the sun and shone all day
And 1 little snowman melted away.

Where is Snowman?
(tune: Where is Thumbkin?)
 
Where is snowman? Where is snowman?
Look and see.  Look and see.
Itty bitty snowman. Itty bitty snowman.
Hiding from me. Hiding from me.
 
(different color felt mittens)
