I Made a Snow Friend - sung to "I Saw Three Ships"
I made a snow friend out of snow
One winter day, one winter day.
I made a snow friend out of snow
One winter day in the morning.I rolled a snowball big as could be
One winter day, one winter day.
I rolled a snowball big as could be
One winter day in the morning.I made another one, smaller you see,
One winter day, one winter day.
I made another one, smaller you see,
One winter day in the morning.I rolled one more; now I had three
One winter day, one winter day.
And stacked them up as quick as could be
One winter day in the morning.I added a nose and two eyes to see
One winter day, one winter day.
I gave him a mouth. He said, "Hi!" to me
One winter day in the morning.~Submitted by Becce from Missouri
Walking in the Snow
Let's go walking in the snow.
Walking, walking, on tiptoe.
Lift your one foot way up high.
Then the other to keep dry.
All around the yard we skip.
Watch your step or you might slip!

I'm a little Snowman By Jan Payne
I'm a little snowman, short and stout,
Sticks for arms and a carrot snout.

Snowflakes Falling - sung to "Up on the housetop"
Snowflakes are falling on the ground
On our haouses and in our town
On my nose and in my hair
Snowflakes are falling everywhere.
Oh, oh, oh, out we go
Oh, oh, oh, in the snow
Making snowmen
Sliding, too,
There are lots of things to do.~Submitted by Becce from Missouri
Snow - sung to "This old Man"
Snow is falling on the ground
We can make things all around
Like snowmen, snowballs

Sliding, skating, skiing, too,
There are lots of things to do.~Submitted by Becce from Missouri
Snowman - sung to "I'm a Little Teapot"
I'm a little snowman
Round and fat
I have a broomstick

With my friends
I play in the snow.
But when the sun shines
It's time to go.

Snow Riddles
I have six sides
And I fall from the sky.
I land on your nose,
I land on your eye.
Can you guess what name have I?Round balls of snow
And a funny-looking hat,
A broomstick and a carrot
And some buttons that are black.
What can you make from all of that?I travel through the snow
And you sit on me.
I make a lot of noise,
And on the bottom there are skiis.
What is the name that you call me?You can sit on me
And slide in the snow,
Or someone can pull you
Wherever you go.
What is the name that I want you to know?~Submitted by Becce from Missouri
S-S-S-S-S-S - poem
Seven silly snowmen
Sitting side by side
Out came the sun,
And they had to hide.
Two behind the sled
Two behind the tree,
Two behind the snowbank,
And one behind me.S is for snowman
round and fat.
Sitting outside wearing a hat.
I brought him inside and
sat him on the mat,
and before very long,
the snowman was flat.S is for snowman,
skiis, and sledS is for snuggling
safe in bed.S is for scarf
socks and sun.S is for snowflakes
melting on my tongue.~Submitted by Becce from Missouri
Funny Little Snowman
A funny little snowman
Sat in our yard today.
He said, "Come out and play with me
Before I melt away!"
He placed a hat upon his head
And began to dance around.
We laughed and sang some silly songs
And fell upon the ground,
And when the sun began to shine
Beating down that day,
My funny little snowman
Began to melt away.~Submitted by Becce from Missouri
Poor Mr. Snowman
Poor Mr. Snowman
Dressed in white
Standing in the cold wind,
Freezing all night.
I would bring him inside
And make him feel better,
But Mommy says he likes
This chilly weather.~Submitted by Becce from Missouri
You'll need five bean bags. Have the children sit in a circle on the floor and sing to "Mary Had A Little Lamb."
Pass one snowball round and round
Round and round, round and round
Pass one snowball round and round
Round the circle.Continue with each snowball to five, then count backwards taking away. Good practice for adding/subtracting one.

Five Little Snowmen
5 little snowmen standing in a row.
Each had a hat and a big red bow.
Out came the sun and shone all day.
1 little snowman melted away.
(Continue until you have no snowmen left.)Activity:
Type out the five verses to the poem and cut out 5 snowmen for each child. Let the children decorate the snowmen, glue them onto a long piece of paper, cut apart the poem and add them in order underneath each snowman. As you read the poem, they fold each snowman so you can't see it as it "melts away."Red Nose
Where did you get that little red nose?
Jack Frost kissed it I suppose.
He kissed it once.
He kissed it twice.
Poor little nose as cold as ice.~Submitted by Pearl in Alberta
Snow - sung to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star"
Snow is falling all around,
Falling, falling to the ground.
I catch snowflakes on my tongue.
Building snowmen is so much fun.
Snow is falling all around,
Falling, falling to the ground.~Submitted by Karen from Maryland
Snowflakes Falling Down
Snowflakes, snowflakes falling down,
(flutter fingers downward.)
All around, on the ground.
(make spreading movement with hands.)
Get the sled and climb so high,
(walk fingers up arm.)
Down we'll go, slippety-slide!
(slide hand down arm.)
Snowfriend
Pack a snowball.
Make it round.
Roll it, roll it, along the ground.
Make one big ball, and one of middle size;
Then roll a smaller ball. Add a nose and eyes.
Give him a broom and a scarf of blue.
Now there's a friend to play with you! (point)~Submitted by Cheryl's Sweethearts ChildCare
Snowman, Snowman - sung to "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star"
Snowman, snowman, where did you go?
I built you yesterday out of snow.

And now you're gone - all melted away.
But it's sunny outside, so I'll go and play.~Submitted by Cheryl's Sweethearts ChildCare

The First Snow
Watching.
Hoping.
Sighting the first flake.
Watching.
Wondering.
What will I make?
A snowman, a fort?
Angels in the snow?
A thousand flakes are falling.

The Snowman Ran And Ran - sung to "Row Row Row Your Boat"
The snow, snow, snowman,
Came out to play.
But the children cried, 'Get back inside,
The sun is out today.'

Started to run away,
But when he ran, he ran and ran
Until a puddle lay.~Submitted by Cheryl's Sweethearts ChildCare
Some Snow Fingerplays
1. A chubby little snowman
Had a carrot nose
Along came a bunny
And what do you suppose?
That hungry little bunny
Looking for some lunch
Ate that little snowman's nose Nibble, nibble, crunch!2. Here is a snowman
Round as a ball
He has 2 eyes
But he's not very tall
And if the sun shines down on him today
My jolly snowman will melt away!3. Boot Prints (a poem)
Up and down the yard we go
Making boot prints in the snow
Big steps, little steps
Around and around
Oh what fun with snow on the ground!
Black boots, white boots
Red boots bright
Isn't it strange our boot prints are white?4. 5 Little Snowmen
5 little snowmen standing round my door
This one melted, and then there were four.4 little snowmen beneath a tree
This one melted, and then there were three!3 little snowmen all have mittens blue
This one melted and then there were 2.2 little snowmen standing in the sun
This one melted and then there was 11 little snowman wanted to run
But he melted away, and then there was none!(A fun way to do this is to have the children, 5 at a time, act out the part of the snowmen. They especially like to melt onto the floor! Last year I remember taking some mittens, scarves, hats, etc. and having the children choose a prop to dress up with during their turn as a snowman.)

I'm a Little Snowman - sung to "I'm a Little Teapot"

Short and fat (knees bent slightly, arms curved out at sides)
Here is my scarf (hand movement across neck and shoulders)
And here is my hat. (pretend to put one on)When the sun comes out (arms up and together to form a large circle above head)

But don't worry (sit up, look confident)
I'll be back someday! (point to self, tapping chest with finger)~Submitted by Cheryl's Sweethearts ChildCare
