Three Great Kings
(Action Rhyme)
Three great kings (Hold up three fingers.)
on a cold winter's night (Hug self, shivering.)
Found the baby Jesus (Rock make-believe baby.)
guided by the light (Point to sky.).
The first king (Hold up one finger.) said,
"We've come so far" (Stretch out arm, as if to show distance.).
The second king (Hold up two fingers.) said,
"We followed the star" (Point to sky.).
The third king (Hold up three fingers.) said,
"Great gifts we bring" (Extend hands out in front.).
And together (Hold up three fingers, wrap other hand around them.) they said,
"Great praises we sing" (Pretend to sing.)
Then they knelt (Kneel.) and they prayed (Hands in praying position.),
and they bowed their heads (Bow head.)
As they worshipped baby Jesus in His manger bed.
(Kneel in prayer.)
Five Little Candles
Five little candles (Hold up five fingers.)
burning so bright (Wiggle fingers.).
The first one (Hold up one finger) said,
"We make great light!" (Arms up.)
The second (Hold up two fingers.) one said,
"The child is born" (Rock baby.).
The third one (Hold up three fingers.) said,
"Our light will adorn" (Arms out in front, palms up.).
The fourth one (Hold up four fingers.) said,
"We shine for Him" (Palms forward at sides of face, fingers spread.)
The fifth one (Hold up five fingers.) said,
"Let's not be dim" (Cover pointer finger with other hand.)
So they stood very tall (Stand tall.) and glowed very bright (Arms up.),
And the Christ child smiled that very night (Smile, hands around face.).
Five Little Bells
(Fingerplay)
Five little bells hanging in a row,
(Hold up five fingers.)
The first one said, "Ring me slow."
(Hold up one finger.)
The second one said, "Ring me fast."
(Hold up two fingers.)
The third one said, "Ring me last."
(Hold up three fingers.)
The forth one said, "I'm like a chime."
(Hold up four fingers.)
The fifth one said, "Ring us all at Christmas time."
(Hold up five fingers.)

There's A Little Elf
Sung to: "If You're Happy & You Know It"
There's a little elf that's sitting on my nose,
There's a little elf that's sitting on my nose.
He is sitting on my nose,
Then off away he goes.
Now there's no little elf on my nose.
There's a little elf that's sitting on my knee,
There's a little elf that's sitting on my knee.
He is sitting on my knee,
Just watch and he will flee.
Now there's no little elf on my knee.
There's a little elf that's sitting on my head,
There's a little elf that's sitting on my head.
He is sitting on my head,
Then away he goes to bed.
Now there's no little elf on my head.

He'll be piled up with toys when he comes,
He'll be piled up with toys when he comes,

For all the girls and boys.
He'll be piled up with toys when he comes.
He'll be dressed all in red when he comes,
He'll be dressed all in red when he comes.
He'll be dressed all in red,
From his toes up to his head,
He'll be dressed all in red when he comes!
Another Way to do Rudolph
Rudolph, the red nosed...... (hands up like antlers)
Had a very shiny....(point to nose)
And if you ever saw it...(wooo, wooo!)
You would even say it....(hands out around face "glowing")
All of the other...(hands up like antlers)
Used to laugh and call him...(make "raspberries" with mouth)
They never let poor Rudolph...(boo, hoo...use hands to wipe tears while saying it)
Join in any reindeer games...(slap legs, clap, hands out, clap)
Then one foggy Christmas eve,
Santa came to say: (we use deep voices now)
Rudolph with your nose so bright, Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the ...(hands up for antlers) loved him
As they shouted out with...(rah-rah, ziss-boom-bah!)
Rudolph the red nosed (hands up for antlers)
You'll go down in history!
