Holiday Concert Traditions

Posted by Lynn Kleiner November 2, 2010 - Filed in Activities - 7,210 views

One of the reasons Music Box has been created is so I can share answers to some of the questions I have been answering for years and years. One of those is “What can I do for my preschool/kindergarten holiday concert?I’ll also hear, “and it can’t be Christmas or Hanukah”.There are wonderful winter songs and even year round songs that can be done in a festive way for the holiday show.For example, Stars are Twinkling, from Kids make Music, Babies Make Music Too! has been a favorite in Music Rhapsody classes since the 1980s. But for our holiday open house, we make stars out of construction paper, add some glitter, add a craft stick and you have a beautiful prop to move to the melody direction of the song.Of course, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star has to follow.I will list more ideas on the Music Box Forum under Holiday Concert ideas and teacher’s can add their own successes too.
