CHRISTMAS CAROLS LYRICS:

Rudolph de red nosed reindeer

You know Dasher and Dancer and Prancer and Vixen

Comet and Cupid and Donner and Blitzen

but do you recall

the most famous reindeer of all?

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

had a very shiny nose

and if you ever saw it

you would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer

used to laugh and call him names

they never let poor Rudolph

join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say

"Rudolph, with your nose so bright

won´t you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him

as they shouted out with glee

"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

you´ll go down in history"

Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

had a very shiny nose

and if you ever saw it

you would even say it glows

All of the other reindeer

used to laugh and call him names

they never let poor Rudolph

join in any reindeer games

Then one foggy Christmas Eve

Santa came to say

"Rudolph, with your nose so bright

won´t you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then how the reindeer loved him

as they shouted out with glee

"Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer

you´ll go down in history"

Jingle Bells (adaptada para los peques)

Dashing through the snow

in a one-horse open sleigh

oér the fields we go

laughing all the way

bells on bobtails ring

making spirits bright 

oh, what fun it is to ride and sing

a leighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells

jingle all the way

oh, what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse open sleigh, hey!

Jingle bells, jingle bells

jingle all the way

oh, what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse open sleigh (2)

oh, what fun it is to ride

in a one-horse open sleigh

All I want for Christmas (versión acortada para los peques)

I don´t want a lot for Christmas

there is just one thing I need

I don´t care about the presents

underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

more than you could ever know

make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you! 

I don´t want a lot for Christmas

there is just one thing I need

I don´t care about the presents

underneath the Christmas tree

I just want you for my own

more than you could ever know

make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you!

I don´t need to hand my stockin

there upon the fireplace

Santa Claus won´t make me happy

with a toy on Christmas day

I just want you for my own

more than you could ever know

make my wish come true

All I want for Christmas is you!

I won´t ask for much this Christmas

I won´t even wish for snow

and I, I just wanna keep on waiting

underneath the mistletoe!

I won´t make a list and send it

to the North Pole for St Nick

I won´t even stay awake

to hear those magic reindeer click

Cause I just want you here tonight

holding on me so tight

what more can I do?

oh baby, all I want for Christmas is you

The elf on the shelf and more

Hi everyone!!
Hoy os voy a hablar de una tradición navideña muy extendida en Estados Unidos, se trata del elfo sobre el estante o The elf on the shelf . Es un elfo bastante traviesillo que cada día aparece en un lugar diferente de la casa, y su misión es vigilar a los niños y niñas para informar por la noche a Papá Noel. No se le debe tocar ya que podría perder sus habilidades mágicas. También es conocido por hacer alguna que otra travesura o broma a los niños (usar su pasta de dientes, pintarles un bigotillo mientras están durmiento, cambiarles la leche o los cereales de sitio...), esto ya depende de la creatividad de los papis y mamis 😂

Si no conocíais esta tradición y queréis saber más sobre ella aquí os dejo un link para que cojáis ideas.

Yo tengo un elfo e intentaré colocarlo en alguna clase durante el recreo, pero logísticamente me es imposible hacerlo en todas las clases, pero os animo a poner un elfo durante las vacaciones en casa, les va a encantar!

Además, os dejo algunos recursos educativos sobre este tema por si queréis trabajarlo con los peques durante las vacaciones
