3. Poem: The Chubby Snowman
Had a carrot nose.
Along came a bunny,
And what do you suppose? That hungry little bunny,
Looking for his lunch,
Ate that snowman's carrot
Nibble, nibble, crunch
Fingerplay: The Snowman
Roll him and roll him until he is big [Roll hands.]Roll him until he is fat as a pig. [Make big circle with arms.]
He has two eyes and a hat on his head. [Point to eyes and top of head.]
He'll stand there all night [Raise arms above head.]
While we go to bed. [Rest head against hands.]

5. Action Poem: I Am a Snowman
I am a snowman, cold and white [Stand up tall.] I stand so still through all the night
With a carrot nose [Point to nose.] And head held high,
And a lump of coal to make each eye. [Point to eyes.]
I have a muffler made of red, [Pretend to tie a muffler.]
And a stovepipe hat upon my head [Place hands on top of head.]
The sun is coming out, oh my! [Make big circle with arms over head.]
I think that I am going to cry. [Wipe tear from eyes.]
Yesterday, I was plump and round. [Form large circle with arms.]
Now, I'm just a river on the ground! [Sink to floor.]
