Top 7 Christmas Songs for Pre-K & Kinder [With Movements]

In my first year of teaching, I was asked to prepare a Christmas Program for my Pre-K & Kinder students. I knew it would be challenging but also super fun! It turns out it was a little more challenging than it was fun. This was mainly because I chose songs that were too wordy or too lengthy. Over the years, my students and I have finally found success with these simple & fun Christmas songs. And I know you will too! Here are my Top 7 Christmas Songs for Pre-K & Kindergarten.

1. Little Snowflake

You can find the accompaniment to this song on iTunes: https://music.apple.com/us/album/little-snowflake-sing-along/1266398146?i=1266399201

2. Jingle Jingle Little Bell

You can find the accompaniment to this song on iTunes: https://music.apple.com/us/album/jingle-jingle-little-bell-sing-along/1266398146?i=1266399171

Also, a set of wristband jingle bells are AMAZING for Pre-K & Kinder, because they are less likely to lose them or throw them across the stage!

3. We Wish You a Merry Christmas (With Movements)

We wish you a Merry Christmas (Right arm open wide)
We wish you a Merry Christmas (Left arm open wide),
We wish you a Merry Christmas (Both arms open above head),
And a Happy New Year. (clap on each beat)

Now let’s all do a little clapping (clap),
Now let’s all do a little clapping(clap),
Now let’s all do a little clapping (clap),
And spread Christmas cheer (raise arms and make sprinkling action with fingers)

Now let’s all do a little jumping (jump),
Now let’s all do a little jumping(jump),
Now let’s all do a little jumping (jump)
And spread Christmas cheer (raise arms and make sprinkling action with fingers)

Now let’s all do a little waving (wave),
Now let’s all do a little waving(wave),
Now let’s all do a little waving(wave),
And spread Christmas cheer (raise arms and make sprinkling action with fingers)

Additional Verses Might Include:
Smiling
Running
Marching
