| Activity (with Scarf) | Five Dancing Snowflakes Five dancing snowflakes swirling all around! (show five fingers) The first one said, “I’m upside down!” (bend over and wave scarf through legs) The second one said, “I can do a little wiggle!” (wiggle with scarf) The third one said, “That makes me giggle!” (cover mouth with scarf and giggle) The fourth one said, “Watch me twirl through the sky!” (Twirl in a circle with scarf) The fifth one said, “Time to wave bye-bye!” (wave goodbye with scarf) And the five little snowflakes floated on down (slowly wiggle scarf towards the ground) And landed with their friends all over town. (lay scarf flat) Source: Adapted movements from original rhyme in The Mailbox |
