The Twelve Days of Christmas...remix

12/10/2014

Today we used the holiday classic "The Twelve Days of Christmas" to learn about alliteration. We found all of the examples in the song (seven swans a-swimming!) and then the kids rewrote the lyrics that were lacking. Here are some of my favorites:

a partridge pecking a pear tree
three French fries
four begging/big/backwards birds
five ruby/red/rolling/rich rings
five golden grass blades
five golden geese
six swans/lemurs/loons a-laying
six geese a-gazing
nine daddies dancing

LOVE IT!!

P.S. I took a video of the singing performance this afternoon. As soon as I can figure out this darn technology business, I'll post it for you :)

Out of all versions I've seen on the internet about this song, this is the one that made me smile. the original version was great, but your gave me bunch of laughter. I showed it to my friends and they also laughed about it. Though it's for fun purposes, I noticed that you have the talent in song writing. May be you should try writing songs because you have the skill for it. I will support you if ever you'll be trying to do at least one piece! You should do a song out of these lyrics!
