Storytime

Hat and
whiskers, belt and boots, belt and boots, belt and boots.
Twinkling eyes
and a cherry red nose.
Read
second story A Pirate's Night Before Christmas, What Am I? Christmas, It's Christmas, David!
Rudolph,
the red nosed reindeer...... (hands up like antlers)
Had a very shiny nose....(point to nose)
And if you ever saw it...(wooo, wooo!)
You would even say it glows....(hands out around face "glowing")
All of the other reindeer...(hands up like antlers)
Used to laugh and call him names...(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 reindeer ...(hands up for antlers) loved him
As they shouted out with glee...(rah-rah, ziss-boom-bah!)
Rudolph the red nosed reindeer (hands up for antlers)
You'll go down in history!
