Let's All Do a Little Clapping 
(Tune:"We Wish You a Merry Christmas", from Storytime Katie)
Let's all do a little clapping,
Let's all do a little clapping,
Let's all do a little clapping,
and spread Christmas cheer!

The Reindeer Pokey
You put your antlers in, (bow head forward)
You put your antlers out, (lean head back)
You put your antlers in,
And you shake them all about (shake head)
You do the Reindeer Pokey and you turn yourself around,
That's what it's all about!

Other verses include hooves (feet), tail, red nose, and reindeer self.

Boogie Woogie Santa (on CD)

Jingle Bells (with bells)

The Bells on the Sleigh (to the tune of "Wheels on the Bus", from Library Village
The bells on the sleigh go ring, ring, ring,
Ring, ring, ring,
Ring, ring, ring.
The bells on the sleigh go right, ring, ring,
On Christmas night.

The Santa on the sleigh says, "Ho, ho, ho!"
"Ho, ho, ho!"
"Ho, ho, ho!"
The Santa on the sleigh says, "Ho, ho, ho!"
On Christmas night.

The reindeer on the sleigh fly oh so high.
Oh so high,
Oh so high.
The reindeer on the sleigh fly oh so high,
On Christmas night.

Craft: We decorated an ornament template with torn paper.

Literacy tip of the week:  Practicing rhymes helps kids identify the parts that make up words. It can also make a fun game to play with your preschooler or toddler!
