WINTER EXERCISE MOVEMENT AND MUSIC ACTIVITY
SNOWMAN DANCE ACTIVITY
I love watching my younger students dance! This song moves quickly. You may want to go through the actions a couple of times before doing the activity.
This snowman song is a fun one to sing too!
You’ll definitely want to review the moves to this snowman workout!
This is a fun winter movement and music activity that can also help students read too!
He JUMPS, SLIDES, ROLLS, SPINS, TWISTS AND MELTS!
Here are the lyrics to the song.
- Hey Mr. Snowman what do you say?
- Let’s have some fun in the snow today?
- Hey, Mr. Snowman, wanna play?
- Let’s have some fun in the snow today!
- Let’s-
- JUMP
- SLIDE
- ROLL
- RUN
- TWIST
- MELT
I like to have the students get super silent at the end as they melt in the snow.
Then, I tell them that the snow fairy is going to sprinkle snowflake dust on them and bring the snowman back to life.
I walk around the room with a scarf and sprinkle the snowflake dust on them and they all turn back into snowmen.
It’s “snow” much fun!
This song comes in two different resource. We have the snowman song as a brain break and the snowman activity with literacy activities.
