The elves have been learning a few new verses to the song “We wish you a merry Christmas” and they thought you might enjoy them too.

This song is great for those children learning to imitate body movements and communicative gestures.

Start the song as you normally would….

We wish you a Merry Christmas.

And a Happy New Year.

Then add a verse with a hand or body movement/ gesture

Let's all do a little clapping.

And spread Christmas cheer.

There are so many verses you can add to help your child practise using gestures and body movements…… I’m sure you can think of a few more

Let's all do a little waving

Let's all blow little kisses

Let's all do a little jumping

Let’s all do a little wiggle

Let’s all do a little gallop
