This easy to learn song is perfect for little ones at Christmas. It revises language from From Head to Toe by Eric Carle, although it can be used independently of the book too. The song is to the tune of “Jimmy Crack Corn” There are different activities to choose from depending on the age, context and abilities of your learners. The written lyrics are intended as a reference for interested families and to encourage practice outside the classroom.

1.Coloring sheet (dancing Santa)
