Up on the Housetop, Stuck, Stuck, Stuck!

Oops!  Kindergarten got their Saint Nicks stuck in the chimney!

 

Directions:

Kids write a letter to Santa on scrapbook paper.

Prep work-

Cut long, red rectangles using the paper cutter.

Cut long, black rectangles.

 

Kids can draw or trace boots and cut the boots out.

Then have them glue the boots to the leg.

The kids need to glue cotton balls to the top of the boots.

They glue the legs to the chimney.

Then, the kids glue the black strip of construction paper across the top of the chimney.

The last thing?  Glue Santa's letter to the chimney!  Draw a few lines to give the look of real bricks.

 

Here's the Jackson 5 with "Up on the Housetop"

 

Check out these lyrics-

Up on the housetop, reindeer pause
Out jumps good old Santa Claus
Down through the chimney with lots of toys
All for everyone's Christmas joys

Tito had just one desire
That he gets a new guitar
But he wants a guarantee
That it won't play out of key

Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn t go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click,
Down through the chimney with old St. Nick

(I said) Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn t go?
Ho, ho, ho! Who wouldn t go?
Up on the housetop, click, click, click,
Down through the chimney with old St. Nick
