Build a Snowman
to the tune of "Oh My Darling Clementine"
Build a snowman,
Build a snowman,
Build a snowman,
Big and round.
Shape three snowballs, different sizes
Stack them tall, then add a face.
Dress the snowman,
Dress the snowman,
Dress the snowman,
Big and round.
Dress him in last winter's clothes,
Tie his scarf and add a cap.
When the sun,
When the sun,
When the sun
Shines so bright,
Watch him melt and disappear
Never to return again.
Save his clothes,
Save his clothes,
Save his clothes,
Don't throw them out!
Soon the snow will fall again.
Another snowman will be born.

Chubby Little Snowman (action rhyme)

(Hold hands out to demonstrate "chubby.")
Had a carrot nose.

That hungry little bunny,
(Rub stomach.)
Looking for his lunch.

Ate that snowman's carrot nose,

Nibble, nibble, crunch!!

Three little snowmen...
Two little snowmen...
One little snowman...

The frost tells me it's cold.
The frost tells me it's cold.
It's wintertime, It's wintertime,
The frost tells me it's cold.
So inside I'll stay.
So inside I'll stay.
Inside it's nice, and I am warm.
So inside I'll stay.

Tall and fat.

It's Snowing!
to the tune of "Ten Little Indians"
Snowflakes falling down, down, down,
Snowflakes falling down, down, down,
Snowflakes falling down, down, down,
Falling to the ground.
Watch them growing deeper, deeper,
Watch them growing deeper, deeper,
Watch them growing deeper, deeper,
Covering the ground.
Children playing--snow is fun!
Children playing--snow is fun!
Children playing--snow is fun!
When it hits the ground.
Now it's getting warmer, warmer.
Now it's getting warmer, warmer.
Now it's getting warmer, warmer.
Melting all the snow.
Very soon it disappears,
Very soon it disappears,
Very soon it disappears,
Now the snow's all gone.

In mitten weather.

Snowball
by Shel Silverstein
I made myself a snow ball as perfect as could be.
I thought I'd keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas and a pillow for it's head.
Then, last night it ran away.
But first -- it wet the bed.

Snowflakes, snowflakes,

Whirling, twirling snowflakes,
Whirling, twirling snowflakes,
Hit the ground,
Hit the ground.

The Winter Pokey
to the tune of "The Hokey-Pokey"
You put your right mitten in,
You take your right mitten out.
You put your right mitten in,
And you shake it all about.
You do the winter pokey, [shiver]
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
You put your left mitten in....
You put your right boot....
You put your left boot....
You put your long scarf in....
You put your warm cap in....
You put your snowsuit in....
