Download your free Merry Mumbler Christmas Carols Song Book and have fun with your family and friends with 5 ideas for how to use it to add some festive cheer this Christmas.
1.Virtual Carol Concert – Why not pick a couple of songs to learn with the kids and perform a virtual carol concert for family and friends. Get your relatives to sing along to the chorus!
2. Christmas Eve Street Performance – share some of your favourite songs with your neighbours and agree a date and time to all stand outside your front doors and put on a street carol concert. It’s a great way to see some familiar faces and spread some festive cheer, especially for those who may be living alone.
3. Singing with actions – Many Christmas songs can be sung with actions but why not have a go at making up some of your own! Before singing the 12 days of Christmas write on a piece of paper each of the 12 lines of the song, fold up and put in a jar. Everyone takes turns to draw from the jar until it is empty. When singing the song when it is your line you have to do a funny action to represent the line of the song, so for 3 French hens you might flap your arms and bob your head like a chicken! The best part about this activity is no one knows who has which line and what they are going to do! Also works well for the street performance above, hand out a different line to each participating neighbour.
4. Have fun dressing up – Put on some festive gear and choose a song to re-enact with your children as you all sing the lyrics. Songs such as ‘When Santa got stuck up the chimney’ work great for this, play the roles of Santa, Rudolf and cheeky elves and have fun trying to get Santa out the chimney / laundry basket / a cardboard box!
5. Host a Christmas Carol Quiz! – once you’ve had fun learning the all the songs why not have a go at our Christmas Carol Quiz! Download the quiz sheet and play at home or online with friends.
