[Children’s Song] A Collection of Hand Play Songs Perfect for Christmas

Smiling Santa

[Christmas Hand Play] Smiley Santa ♪ (Children’s Song · Nursery Rhyme)

Let me introduce a fingerplay song called “Nikoniko Santa” (Smiley Santa)! The title alone conjures up an image of a cheerful Santa, and it seems like children will be excited to sing along.

Since numbers are woven into the lyrics, it should be easy to remember, right? Another fun point is that the lyrics tell you what Santa is doing at Christmastime.

Plus, the numbers from 1 to 10 appear, so it’s great for learning to count! It’s best to start at a slow tempo.

Let’s decorate with holly.

♬Deck the Halls/Holly and Ivy – ♬Deck the halls with boughs of holly～【♬English Song】

Let’s make big movements with our hands to the song “Deck the Halls.” Flutter your hands like sparkling stars, flip your hands over and extend them forward, and cross them in front of your chest.

Between these three moves, insert a gesture where you raise an index finger like a conductor and wave it side to side.

All four moves are super easy! You don’t have to worry about right or left, and the pattern repeats the same from verses 1 to 3, so it’s easy to remember.

Move your hands and arms wide and dance with lots of energy!

Yuki

[Song] Snow ♫ (with lyrics / with choreography / children's song / hand play)

It’s a song that straightforwardly expresses the joy of snow piling up and the scenery that spreads out before you.

As a children’s song that represents winter, its distinctive wording that depicts the way snow accumulates is also memorable.

The choreography is simple—just expressing falling snow and the items that appear—and the transitions are unhurried, so even small children will find it easy to imitate.

It might also be good to pay attention to facial expressions when singing, so that the enjoyment of the snowy landscape comes across.

The wind and the snow are my friends.

Wind and Snow Are Friends Too: Children’s Song (Winter) [Lyrics with Movements] for Ages 3–5

If you want to sing and do hand-play games with little kids, “Kaze mo Yuki mo Tomodachi da” is perfect.

That’s because most of its lyrics are made up of onomatopoeia.

So even children who don’t yet understand difficult words can learn it easily.

Also, there aren’t many choreography variations, so you’ll hardly need any practice.

Of course, you can adjust the moves to suit the children’s age and how familiar they are with hand-play games.
