5. Song: Rudolph
Rudolph, the red nosed...... (hands up like antlers)
Had a very shiny....(point to nose)
And if you ever saw it...(wooo, wooo!)
You would even say it....(hands out around face "glowing")
All of the other...(hands up like antlers)
Used to laugh and call him...(make "raspberries" with mouth)
They never let poor Rudolph...(boo, hoo...use hands to wipe tears while saying it)Join in any reindeer games...(slap legs, clap, hands out, clap)
Then one foggy Christmas eve,Santa came to say: (we use deep voices now)Rudolph with your nose so bright, Won't you guide my sleigh tonight?
Then all the ...(hands up for antlers) loved him
As they shouted out with...(rah-rah, ziss-boom-bah!)
Rudolph the red nosed (hands up for antlers)
You'll go down in history!
