Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground
Wiggle fingers
Wiggle toes
Wiggle shoulders say "Hello"

In the Snow by Sharon Phillips Denslow
All of the forest animals come out to eat the seeds scattered by a young child. A good boook for animal recognition.
Action Rhyme: "The Snow is Falling" (Tune: The Farmer in the Dell)
The snow is falling down,
The snow is falling down,
Heigh ho, fast then slow,
The snow is falling down.
The grass is covered with snow.
The grass is covered with snow.
Heigh ho, just watch the snow,
The grass is covered with snow.
(Continue with other places the snow falls, streets, houses, cars, I)

Ten on the Sled by Kim Norman
Like the song "Ten in the Bed", animals fall off the sled one by one. A fun repetitive rhyming read-aloud that allows participation.
Flannel Board Story/Song: "Five Little Snowmen" (Tune: Up on the Housetop)
Count the snowmen out loud with the kids and discuss the different color hats and scarves
Five little snowmen made of snow
Five little snowmen in a row
Out came the sun and shone all day
And one little snowman melted away...

Snowballs by Lois Ehlert
Children create a family of snow. The illustrations require you to flip the book which makes it even more interesting for the kids.

There's a snowflake on a rose, on a rose
There's a snowflake on a rose, on a rose
There's a snowflake on a rose, but not it's on my nose
There's a snowflake on my nose on my nose.
There's a snowflake on my nose on my nose
There's a snowflake on my nose on my nose
There's a snowflake on my nose but not it's no my toes
There's a snowflake on my toes on my toes
tree / knee; bin / chin; bed / head ; clock / sock ; sky / eye
Goodbye Song:
Up down, turn around
Touch the sky and touch the ground
Pat your belly
Blink your eyes
