Songs and Rhymes:
A Star for My Little Tree
(Tune: A Partridge in a Pear Tree)
One the first day of Christmas,
My mother gave to me –
A star for my little tree.
On the second day of Christmas,
My mother gave to me –
Two strings of lights
And a star for my little tree.
On the third day of Christmas
My mother gave to me –
Three silver bells,
Two strings of lights
And a star for my little tree.
On the fourth day of Christmas
My mother gave to me –
Four candy canes.
Three silver bells,
Two strings of lights
And a star for my little tree.
On the fifth day of Christmas
My mother gave to me –
Five Christmas bulbs.
Four candy canes,
Three silver bells,
Two strings of lights
And a star for my little tree.

Santa's on His Way
(Tune: The Farmer in the Dell)
Oh, Santa's on his way.
Oh, Santa's on his way.
He's bringing toys
For girls and boys
In his christmas sleigh.
Oh, Santa's on his way.
Oh, Santa's on his way.
He's bringing _______
And _______ and _______
In his Christmas sleigh.
-Elizabeth Scofield
(Let your children fill in the blanks with the names of toys Santa might bring.)
Christmas Bells
(Tune: Oh, Christmas Tree)
O Christmas bells, O Christmas bells,
We love to hear you ringing.
O Christmas bells, O Christmas bells,
You make us feel like singing.
You sing to us of colored lights.
You sing to us of Christmas night.
O Christmas bells, O Christmas bells,
We love to hear you ringing.
-Author Unknown
Ring, Ring, Ring Your Bell
(Tune: Row, Row, Row Your Boat)
Ring, ring, ring your bell
Ring it up, then down.
First, you swing, then, you ring.
Then you put the bell down.
-Jean Warren
(Have children stand at table and take turns picking up a bell with handle and ringing it.)
