12 Days of Christmas
This is a fun and creative way to explore “The 12 Days of Christmas.” This lesson reinforces numerical order, repetition within a song, and group effort. It’s also very cute to see the creative ways the students become “The 12 Days of Christmas.” Composition with instruments is also involved.
