Embark on a magical Snow Day Adventure with this winter music session idea —crafted especially for Pre-K and Kindergarten and featuring some fun songs from my Winter Song Bundle! You'll also find a FREEBIE S is for Snowman craft to pair with the snowman song listed below!
Theme: Snow Day Adventure
Let's dive in by exploring the cozy essentials for a cold winter's day with the song: “What Do I Need to Keep Me Warm?"
🎶 Tune: For He’s a Jolly Good Fellow
What do I need to keep me warm,
Keep me warm in the winter storm?
What do I need to keep me warm?
A hat on my head
What do I need to keep me warm,
Keep me warm in the winter storm?
What do I need to keep me warm?
A scarf around my neck
(Spoken or Sung)
A hat on my head
A scarf around my neck
What do I need to keep me warm,
Keep me warm in the winter storm?
What do I need to keep me warm?
A coat on my back
(Spoken or Sung)
A hat on my head
A scarf around my back
A coat on my back
Keep the song going adding in: mittens, boots, and a nice warm hug. Conclude with a spoken (or sung) repetition of our winter clothing:
A hat on my head
A scarf around my back
A coat on my back
Some mittens on my hands
Some boots on my feet
And a nice warm hug (wrap arms around self)
When introducing the song, involve the kids by using winter clothing visuals, encouraging their suggestions before revealing the visuals in the order they will be sung. Let's bring some musical joy into getting dressed for winter!
