Silver Bells

Tune: Jingle Bells

Silver Bells, silver bells

Ring them loud and clear.

Silver Bells, silver bells

Bringing Holiday cheer.

 

Ring them high, ring them low,

Ring them ‘round and ‘round.

What a lovely time of year

When silver bells you hear.

 

Tap, Tap, Tap Your Hand

Tune: Row Your Boat

Tap, tap, tap your hand

With your bell today.

Tap the beat – of the song.

Tap your bell this way.

 

Tap, tap, tap your hand

With your bell today.

Let’s make music with our hands

Then put our bells away.

Make a jingle bell bracelet!

Craft Instructions:

1. Thread the jingle bells onto the pipe cleaners.

2. Twist the pipe cleaners together or use the second one to make a bow.

3. Secure the ends. You can wear it as a bracelet or use it to sing the songs above!

Extra play Ideas:

·        Cell Phone Caroling! Using your new jingle bells, pick a few friends or family members to call and sing or play your favorite holiday songs to.

Turn a cup upside down and create a holiday toss game. Try to get the jingle bell ring to land on the cup to earn points
