Ring Around The Snowman

Last week for Large Group, we reviewed the "s" sound and sang songs about "snow".  We played a game called Ring Around the Snowman.  You play it just like Ring Around the Rosies except you hold hands and move in a circle around a snowman.

As we moved around the snowman, we sang; 

Ring around the snowman,

He is made from snow.

Snowflakes, snowflakes,

We all fall down.

After we played it a couple times, we took turns deciding if we should sing the song fast, slow, high, low, in a whisper or really loud.

This activity helped us use our words in phrases.  It also helped us work on following directions and answering "wh" questions.  

You can play this same game with your family at home.  Have your child draw a snowman on a piece of paper.  Put the snowman in the center of the floor and hold hands as you move around it singing our snowman song.  You can ask your child how they want to sing the song.
