Caroling and Festivities

This month’s Family Activity is Christmas Caroling at a local Nursing Home. So, the children in the 3 year old Preschool Classroom, Magic Kingdom, did several activities to prepare for it.

First, the class made Christmas cards to give to the residents. They had fun drawing pictures of what is important to them this time of the year. They also decorated the cards with cute holiday stickers.

The class practiced singing Christmas songs all week so that they knew the songs that will be sung during the caroling. Their favorite song to sing was Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. The next favorite song to sing was Jingle Bells. The class decided that in order to perform the song the best that they could, they really needed to have their own jingle bell instruments.

So, during one of the large group times, each child made their own jingle bell bracelet out of pipe cleaners and jingle bells. When the bracelets were all done, the class went over to the music area so that they could sing their songs with their newly made instruments!
