Christmas Songs For 3s And 4s


Guest

Recommended Posts

We sing (to the tune of Down in the jungle)

Down in the stable one starry night

3 tired kings followed a light

There was Mary

There was Joseph and a mager full of hay

Everyone was there on that first Christmas day

Hi ti a boogie woogie woogie

Hi ti a boogie woogie woogie

Hi ti a boogie woogie woogie

Everyone was there on that first Christmas day

 

and

Hickory Dickory Dock

The shepherds were watching their sheep

The angels came down

And sent them to town

Where they found Baby Jesus asleep

 

oh what fun!

Oh Barb I hear you!! I'm a bit worried about my solo!!

 

I've had b***hing mothers in the playground saying what a waste of time it is to do a Nativity grrrrrrrr. Not saying it to the staff tho!

 

Thanks for these songs ladies - just what I've been looking for. I'll add them to my little resource book on my site if that's OK.

we get those mothers too pandamonium,

 

I was asked by one parent if her child could NOT be an angel, but still in full costume of another kind, and can she have a speaking part - the child is only 2 years old!

 

i know were expected to perform wonders in early years, but not sure the children are quite ready for this.

 

we have around 50-60 parents and families come to watch, as well as all 180 primary school children and teachers and TA's ect. as soon as the curtain opens, all the children either go into shock or start shouting to their mum they have just spotted in the crowd.

 

anyway, i will still do it, even though i dont get any thanks from parents (just moans about their child not being the angel, not speaking, didnt sing loud enough, etc - you know how it goes.

the school thank me though, so thats nice.

We have a variety of songs for our nativity

 

Mary and Joseph and Donkey

(Sung to Here we go round the mulberry Bush)

 

Here we go up to Bethlehem

Bethlehem, Bethlehem

Here we go up to Bethelehem

Early in the Morning

 

Then

Rat a tat tat song at the inn

 

Then Away in a manger when Jesus is born

 

Then Shepherds -

(sung to There was a princess long ago)

 

The shepherds sat around the fire

around the fire, around the fire

The shepherds sat around the fire

Long long ago

 

Angels (same tune)

 

The angels came to visit them

visit them, visit them

the angels came to visit them

long long ago

 

The the wise men follow a star to the stable

to twinkle twinkle little star

 

Then when all the children are at the stable

(sung to there was a princess again)

 

Well every body's happy now

happy now, happy now

well everybody's happy now

Happy now

 

And we finish with we wish you a merry christmas

 

Guaranteed to bring a tear to the eye!!

Hope this helps

Sue
