Christmas Rhymes


action rhymes, fingerplays and short poems for kids learning English


Here is the chimney


Here is the chimney
(make fist with thumb inside)
Here is the top
(put other hand over fist)
Open the lid
(remove hand from fist)
And out Santa will pop
(pop up thumb from fist)

When Santa comes


When Santa comes to our house
(hands form pointed roof)
I would like to peek
(peek through fingers)
But I know he'll never come
(shake head no)
Until I'm fast asleep
(rest head on hands)

Christmas candy


I took a lick of my peppermint stick
(pretend to lick candy)
And was it ever yummy
(lick lips)
It used to be on my Christmas tree
(form tree shape with hands)
But now, it's in my tummy
(rub stomach)
