Warming up: First of all we’ll review some rhymes about seasons and holidays.
a) This is the reason, when children ski
And Santa Claus brings the New Year Tree
b) December comes with white snow
And cold winds begin to blow
From the cold and starlit sky
Merry snowflakes fly and fly
They fall softly in the night
All are still and white.
c) New Year Day, happy day
We are all glad and very gay
We all dance and sing and say
Welcome! Welcome New Year Day!
d) Christmas Day, Christmas Day
Let us sing and let us play
Santa Claus bring many toys
For little girls and little boys
e) And how let’s play the game “ What’s the Date“
We are in for many holidays. Some of them are happy others are merry and funny.
