Ring the Jingle Bells

This week for Large Group, we sang the song Jingle Bells and then we  used the jingle bells to play a Jingle Bell Game.  We stood in a circle and we each got a turn to decide how we were going to ring the jingle bells.  We sang the following song while we rang the bells.... 

(to the tune of She'll Be Comin' Round the Mountain When She Comes)

We will ring the jingle bells (behind our back, way up high, very loud etc..)

We will ring the jingle bells (behind our back, way up high, very loud etc..)

We will ring them (behind our back, way up high, very loud), we will ring them (behind our back, way up high, very loud).

We will ring the jingle bells (behind our back, way up high, very loud etc..)

We could think of a way to ring the bells  on our own or we could use one that was on the GoTalk.

We rang our bells high, low, loud, soft, fast, slow, in front of us, behind us, in a circle, while jumping, while clapping, on our toes and back and forth!! 

We had a lot of fun doing this activity and working on understanding prepositions, answering questions, using words to express ourselves and naming actions.
