A Squirrel Song
(sung to She'll Be Coming Round the Mountain)

I'll be gathering all the acorns till they're gone.
I'll be gathering all the acorns till they're gone.
I'll be gathering all the acorns, gathering all the acorns,
Gathering all the acorns till they're gone.
And I'll put them all inside my little home.
I will put them all inside my little home.
I will put them all inside, put them all inside,
Put them all inside my little home.
And I'll eat the nuts until the winter's gone.
I will eat the nuts until the winter's gone.
I will eat the nuts until, eat the nuts until,
Eat the nuts until the winter's gone.
Then I'll do it all again come next fall.
I will do it all again come next fall.
I will do it all again, do it all again,
Do it all again come next fall.

Songs

Dance Little Snowflake
Dance Little Snowflake. Dance Little Snowflake
(dance)
Dance around the town
(spin around)
Dance upon your tiptoes.
(walk on tiptoes)
Dance from side to side.
Twirling up and down, twirling up and down.
(move arms high up and down low)
While you dance around the town.
(spin around)



Make Some Snowballs
Snow is falling, snow is falling,
(flutter fingers down)
All around, all around
(spin around)
Come let’s make some snowballs. Come let’s make some snowballs.
(Pretend to make a snowball with hands)
Throw them here. Throw them there.
(pretend to throw)



This is the Way We Play in the Snow*

This is the way we stomp through the snow,
stomp through the snow,
stomp through the snow.
This is the way we stomp through the snow,
when we go out to play.

The is the way we hop through the snow,
hop through the snow,
hop through the snow,
This is the way we hop through the snow,
when we go out to play.

This is the way we spin through the snow,
spin through the snow,
spin through the snow,
This is the way we spin through the snow,
when we go out to play.

This is the way we sit in the snow,
sit in the snow,
sit in the snow.
This is the way we sit in the snow,

when we go out to play.
