As a music teacher, I am tasked every year with creating a Winter program for my students. I’ve found that it’s challenging to find songs for Pre-K & Kindergarten that are not too lengthy or wordy. Over the years, my students and I have finally found success with these simple and fun Christmas programs!

1) “Jingle Bells” Themed Program

This is a great program idea if you’d like OPTIMAL student participation! All you need is some jingle bells for your kiddos and you’re ready for a spirited program!

I purchased these Jingle Bells for my students:

2) Narwhal-Themed Christmas Program

Tis’ the SEAson for an under the sea program! My students always love singing songs about the magical, not-so-mythical Narwhal located in the Arctic ocean. You can even have an entire Narwhal unit in your classroom! I love reading “Not Quite Narwhal” and then crafting our own Narwhal Tusk Hats to wear at the program.

It’s a Narwhal Christmas!

3) Reindeer-Themed Christmas Program:

I absolutely love singing “Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer” and watching the Movie during the holiday season. But I’ve found that it’s just too wordy to teach my Pre-K & Kindergartners. So here are some fun alternatives for our younger kiddos:

Hello, Reindeer

And no matter which program I choose, I love adding a sing-along portion at the end so that parents can sing along as well.
