Materials: Book- Frosty The Snowman, soft yarn snowballs or bean bags, paper plates, Basket,
Jingle Bells
Poem: Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
Puppet Echo singing: Introduce your puppet then use any short echo song or hello attendance echo
song.(Teacher sings one phrase & the class echoes it back to teach children to use their singing voice).
Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star (Class sings and claps the rhythm while the teacher points to star beat on
the board. Point to beats as half the class chants, “beat, beat, beat, beat” and the other half sings the
song. Reverse roles). See resource pages for the rhyme.
Teacher: Let’s have a fun snow day. We’re going to start with a fun snow story about a snowman
called Frosty the Snowman. (Read the book “Frosty The Snowman” for enjoyment. This story will
provide the class with vocal repertoire. Lyrics are in the book).
Teacher: Frosty surprised the children by singing a fun song with his jingle bells. (Pass out jingle bells
for each child. Have the class sing the jingle bells chorus and play their bells on the rest of the verses).
Teacher: Then the Frosty wanted to have a contest by seeing who could make the biggest snowman.
(Standing in scattered formation, the class will pretend to be snowmen. Perform the actions to fit the
words as you say them). Once There Was A Snowman (Song can be found on this CD, click here if you
want the music)
Teacher: After Frosty was done making snowmen, he showed the children how to ice skate. Let me
show you how to ice skate, then we’ll all get a chance to skate. (Skater’s Waltz Music: In scattered
formation, give each child 2 paper plates and demonstrate how to do paper plate ice skating. Remind
the class to keep their toes on the plate as they slide the plates across the floor).
Teacher: Frosty wants to play a snowball game before he melts away. (Sit in a circle and sing the song.
Toss the snowball back and forth from hand to hand to the beat of the music. At the end of the song,
the class will try to toss their snow ball into the basket that is placed in the center of the circle . Repeat
the game a few times. Let’s play it again). If you don’t have yarn snow balls, you can use bean bags).
Snowballs Everywhere (Tune: same melody as Jingle Bells)
Snowballs here, snowballs there, snowballs everywhere.
Oh what fun it is to play with snowballs everywhere!
Snowballs here, snowballs there, snowballs everywhere.
Oh what fun it is to play with snowballs everywhere! (Snow!)
(Wait to throw the snowballs until you Say the Word “Snow” at the end of the song)
Teacher hums several songs from the lesson to see if they recognize certain vocal repertoire. “Can you
guess the name of this song?”
(Tune: The Dwarf’s Marching Song “Heigh-Ho” from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs)
Goodbye, goodbye, it’s time to say goodbye.
We’ll come and sing another day. Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye.
 Game:
Sit in a circle and sing the song. Toss your own yarn snowball back
and forth from hand to hand with the beat of the music. At the end of
the song, the class will try to toss their snow ball into the basket that
is placed in the center of the circle . Repeat the game a few times. If
you don’t have yarn snow balls, you can use bean bag.
